Warmest wishes and heartfelt gratitude from all of us at Nielson Eye Care this Christmas. Merry Christmas!

For any of you who's holiday traditions include an annual viewing of "It's a Wonderful Life," here's some new trivia to share with the family courtesy of :

Before he volunteered for combat duty, James “Jimmy” Stewart was assigned to make promotional films for the Army Air Corps. In those early productions he appears exactly as the public knew him, a Hollywood leading man wearing the standard issue AN6531 Type II aviation sunglasses by (still available today). Within a short time he traded sound stages for combat airfields and became one of the most respected officers in the Eighth Air Force.

Stewart flew B-24 Liberators with the 445th Bomb Group and later commanded the 703rd Bomb Squadron of the 445th and the 453rd Bomb Group. He flew missions deep into occupied Europe, including strikes against marshaling yards, industrial targets, and aircraft production centers. By the end of the war he had risen to full Colonel and earned the Distinguished Flying Cross with Oak Leaf Cluster, the Air Medal with three clusters, and the Croix de Guerre. His leadership under intense operational pressure earned him the lasting respect of the crews he commanded.

After the war Stewart carried an invisible burden that many veterans of the air campaign recognized. He experienced periods of depression, anxiety, and profound guilt over the men he could not bring home. These struggles were rarely discussed publicly, but they shaped the quiet gravity seen in many of his later film roles. Despite the weight he carried he remained in the Air Force Reserve, eventually retiring as a Brigadier General.

Jimmy Stewart’s legacy is far more than Hollywood fame. It is the record of a combat commander who served with distinction in one of the most demanding air wars ever fought, and who lived with the memory of that service for the rest of his life.
