Veterans I know a lot of you don't like the Huffington Post - I've heard it many times, but this is a great story worth reading. Enjoy!
When I visit World War II veteran and dear friend John Tschirhart at his assisted living community in Austin, Texas, the one thing he invariably asks me is if I have heard from Darla Rae recently. Rae is a Denver, Colorado, "Film It Productions" producer and director who has been working long and hard to tell the incredible life story of Tschirhart in a full length narrative. It is a story of idyllic young love, the harsh realities of war and the bravery and hardships of the men who experience it all.
The movie Rae has been working on, "The French American," is the true World War II story of a young U.S. Army Air Corps B-17 bombardier who flew 35 combat missions out of England to "bomb the heck" out of the Nazis.
