I research veterans from Shelby County, Texas and ran across William R. Parrish, Center, Texas in this book. He went on to fly many P-47 fighter missions in the Pacific. Was reported missing for a few days in June 1944. Survived the war and was discharged as a First Lieutenant. He was attending Sam Houston State Teachers College and bull riding in rodeos. On October 9, 1948 the bull he was riding fell on him and he suffered a skull fracture and brain injuries. He later died of these injuries at the Naval Hospital in Houston, Texas on Veterans Day, November 11, 1948 at the age of 25.

i really enjoyed looking at this. I didnt see my father in there, but, he did train there. Thank you for putting it "out there" for me to see and learn more of how it was in my "dad's" day, during WWII.
