Randy Wolff, left, and Jeffrey Paul Wolff, both grandsons of World War II and 100th Bomb Group veteran Capt. Robert “Bob” Wolff, stand by their grandfather’s ashes as they hold a flag presented to them by the RAF Mildenhall Honor Guard at Thorpe Abbotts, England, April 16, 2025. Capt. Wolff was a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot and passed away in October 2024 at age 103. He had previously never returned after his eighth mission due to becoming a prisoner-of-war at Stalag-Luft III, Germany. (U.S. Air Force photo by Karen Abeyasekere)
