Grandpa Poppy

My grandfather, Poppy, was involved in World War II, during 1939-1945. He belonged to the Air Core and worked on planes. The most well known plane he worked on was the Enola Gay, which was well known because it carried the first atomic bomb, which was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Although my grandfather passed, interviewing my grandmother, I found out that he joined the war by choice because he wanted to support his country like every other man. Today I discovered that when I went to D.C. in eighth grade, I actually was able to see the Enola Gay that my grandfather took part in building.
