Col. Ed Cottrell\, USAF (Ret.) will tell the story of meeting his former enemy–two pilots whose historic mission was to destroy each other’s planes—and perhaps lives. Cottrell will tell the story of how these former adversaries developed a quick friendship\, ending their meeting “forever friends.” \nA Tribute\nAfter his talk\, Cottrell will be honored with the presentation of a United States flag flown over the NC Capitol\, by NC Representative Mike Clampitt\, along with a tribute from the citizens of North Carolina. \nConcluding the program\, Brevard Mayor Maureen Copelof will unveil a new painting depicting Cottrell’s encounter with two Me-109 pilots on Dec. 17\, 1944. The painting\, titled\, “I was waiting for the bullets to come\,” was commissioned by Valor Studios\, who will make a limited number of prints available for sale. \nAttendees will be invited to talk with Cottrell and have photos taken with him and the painting. He will be available to sign a copy of the museum’s book\, “We Shall Come Home Victorious”\, which tells his complete story. \nLight refreshments will be served. The public is invited to this free program on April 13 at 11:00 AM at Grace Brevard Church\, 55 E. Jordan Street\, Brevard\, NC. \nClick Here to read more\n  \n  URL:/event/from-enemies-to-forever-friends-wwii-pilots-remarkable-reunion/ LOCATION:Grace Brevard Church\, 55 E.
