Two little girls lost their father on Dec. 19, 1963, when an Air Force jet devastatingly crashed into a North Dakota farm field causing the pilot's death. What caused that crash? Who was that pilot? Who were those little girls?

Older sister, Trish Healy, Marietta, GA, walks us through the 1950s' love story of her parents, the events leading up to and after the crash, and the memorials established in honor and respect for her father. The story of the "burned and bent" 50-cent-piece will truly melt your heart.
