Impact on North Dakota, Minnesota soldiers unclear 
Sgt. Heath Bivier said things went downhill during the second half of his yearlong tour in Afghanistan, and he’s been watching them slide ever since.

B-17 Liberator was great plane
The B-17 Liberator World War II bomber depicted in The Forum on July 7 brought back memories to me. I flew on the B-17 from Okinawa in 1948 and 1949. I was assigned to the 2nd Rescue Squadron stationed on Okinawa.
Our mission then was not to drop bombs but to drop life-saving boats to survivors who had crashed or otherwise ended up in the ocean.
