Eugene was one of ten crew members on a B-24 that was shot down by a Japanese plane over a Phillipine jungle July 10, 1943. He was declared missing then, but was not officially declared dead until December 19, 1945. I used the 1945 date, with modifier "before", but would it be better to use the 1943 date?
Also, if anyone cares to add appropriate military categories, stickers, or what-all, please feel free to go for it.
THANX!
