Joseph Parendo, Sergeant, 8th USAA, 366th bombardment squadron, 305th bombardment group is allso still alive. We are looking for the soldier he carved a plane for out of a B25 bomber windshield. We'd love to know if it is still around. He also carved a heart which we have. Thanks.

My grandfather Lester Belford MacDonald served in WW2 and Korea, he's from Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada. He was a demolitions expert and fought on the front lines on Juno beach. He spent most of the war sweeping for land mines, setting up razor wire and blowing up bridges. He's received many medals from the Royal Canada Legion and he's the only one out of him and his 3 buddies who came back home. He's 92 years old.
