Just three weeks ago was the 50th anniversary of Col Thorsneess' Medal of Honor flight from Takhli - and today we note his passing.

The 355th Fighter Group's reunion is getting underway in Tampa this weekend and the Missing Man Table will be particularly poignant with the death of a 355th TFW F-105 pilot, POW and Medal of Honor Winner. I won't be there for the reunion and the banquet but I raise a symbolic toast to Col Thorsness and all the Missing Men from Takhli and the 355th Fighter Group.
