On July 16th, 1945, a crew of seven aboard a B-17 crashed during a final cargo run at the end of World War II near Vils, Austria. Almost 80 years later, someone found one of their bracelets.
“Every time I look at it, it brings their memory back of me,” said Russell O’Rourke pointing to a picture on his wall.
He partners with metal-detecting enthusiasts and archeological explorers who find these items on battlefields all across the world. “It had his name on it, had his service number, remarkably good condition for you know being in the dirt for more than eighty years,” said Walker.
