SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – In this week’s Heroes Among Us, we introduce Sam Kessler, a U.S. Army World War II veteran.
Kessler served from 1942 to 1945 flying one of the the most famous bomber of WWII, a B-24, in the skies above Europe. He was a tail gunner who position is to have his pilot’s back, manning a machine gun and shooting down enemy threats in the sky.
But a particular bombing mission over Nuremberg, Germany forever changed him. He still recalls every detail.
