The Story of Sergeant Robert Garvey

from Operation Insight · host The St. Charles County Veterans Museum

Tonight, we bring you the heroic story of B-24 Crewman SGT Robert Garvey. After flying 29 missions with his regular crew, he was "volunteered" to be a substitute gunner with another crew. During this mission, Robert was forced to bail out when his plane was damaged and was going to crash after being jumped by German planes. Once on the ground, Robert was hit multiple times by enemy fire, then captured and became a POW. This story is one of courage, resilience, and the American spirit!
