Bernie Krupa Grier-  Sister of Jim Krupa of the 154th TC - 1944 - 1994 - Bernie  first contacted me in 2005 when she started to try to find out more about Jim's time in the 154th TC .  She found the 71st website, which started her on a journey to gather all Jim's military stuff and try to make some sense out of it all.  She had dedicated  herself to put   together this book  with all Jim's  things.   Holding the book with Bernie  is Harry Shelton, Vernon Allen, and Guillermo Bracero,   all  members of  the 154th TC in  Vietnam  who  knew  and worked  with Jim.  It was  a great  reunion for Bernie.  She has kept the memory of her brother alive with this book and also a webpage on the 71st site dedicated to Jim.  A sharp salute to Bernie.  -  Al Furtado
