My uncle Ernie Miller was a decorated bombardier and flew out of Africa and the Middle East during the war. He came back to his home town of Chapman after the war was over one time. After that his mother and sister (my mother) never saw or heard from him again. My mother sent letters through the VA and they were forwarded to him over the years, but they VA would not provide his information to her. We didn't hear from him or about him until a nurse caring for him when he died called my mother and told her he had passed away. The nurse got my mother's information from some of the letters he had when he died in New Orleans nearly 40 years after the war ended.
