First English Lutheran Church - Whitewater

Heidi Skindingsrude Wood posted the following on Memorial Day. The baptismal font at First English Lutheran Church was given as a memorial to Eddie Skindingsrude, Jr.

"Today on Memorial Day, I am remembering Eddie Skindingsrude Jr who gave his life on Dec. 25th, 1944 while on a bombing mission over Trier, Germany. Eddie was a tail gunner on the B17 "Blonde Bombshell" which was hit by German 88mm flak three times. Eddie's body was returned home years later and is buried in Hillside Cemetery. Thank you Eddie for your ultimate sacrifice and may you rest in peace. Remember that Memorial Day commemorates those killed in action while serving our country in military action. Freedom isn't free. It was paid for by the servicemen and women who paid by their service and sacrifice. God speed."
