 Harry Gregg's Combat & Service Awards

My grandfather, Harry Gregg, was a bombardier in the 389th Bomb Group from June 25, 1943 until January 14, 1944. This site is dedicated to my grandfather, and the veterans of the 389th BG during WWII.   During his time with the 389th, my grandfather flew 25 combat missions, which ranged in extremes from flights at 25,000' with temperatures at -60 degrees (F) to a flight over a burning oil refinery at 200' on a hot summer afternoon.  This site is meant to help preserve the history of this group of men, and their experiences from 56+ years ago.
