“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”
“If at any time you are worried just remember I said I‘ll be back one way or the other. I’ll get back and that’s for sure.”
Project Recover located his plane and recovered his remains. He was brought home to his family September 2023. Read more about Mitts’ homecoming here.
Project Recover located the the “Heaven Can Wait” B-24 in 2016. What is incredible about this story is that the extensive research 2nd Lt. Thomas Kelly’s family shared with us played a part in the discovery. In 2023, the Navy Experimental Dive Unit, in partnership with DPAA, conducted a recovery of the B-24 site. There were eleven men on that plane. We know that at least some of them are coming home. Read more about Thomas Kelly here.
