He recently was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal for his service in World War II as part of the Chinese American WWII Veterans Recognition Project. William W. Louie served with the 354th Fighter Group. The virtual presentation premiered Saturday, April 3, 2021. I have embedded the official youtube video here and it is available for viewing on YouTube at this link - https://youtu.be/CXuhLKQSdPs
Thank you to everyone who has to come to this blog to learn about the 354th Fighter Group. This will be my final entry.
I just finished posting all the 170 images of the 354th's famous and hard to find book, HISTORY IN THE SKY. It was made shortly after the war. It is sometimes available on ebay. This is a version on microfilm that I received from the USAAF archives and paid to have transferred. I hope people will find and enjoy it online.
I also have a FACEBOOK page called HEROES OF THE 354th FIGHTER GROUP.
https://www.facebook.com/Heroes-of-the-354th-Fighter-Group-332035956807067
On that page I have over 1800 additional documents posted that I received from the USAAF archives. There are flight reports, mission reports, histories, etc. All related to the 354th Fighter Group. They are too numerous to post here. If you are on FACEBOOK, you can find them and download them for your research.
I also have my YOUTUBE CHANNEL called HEROES OF THE 354th FIGHTER GROUP -

This has the 354th Fighter Group videos I produced. I will be keeping these up as long as possible so people can enjoy and learn from them.
Thanks to everyone who has helped me in this journey and to the men of the 354th Fighter Group and their families.
