Courting Veterans' Voices

Retired Army Air Corp Lt. Col. Frederick Bush was 89 years old when he was interviewed. His hearing was all but gone. His daughter, Diane, uses a special microphone to speak into so her Dad can hear her.  Court reporting student Leah Pouncey takes down the interview. Bush was a highly decorated bomber pilot who flew out of England during the war to run air raids on Germany, specifically East Berlin. He died in February 2008.
