He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal with 15 Oak Leaf Clusters, Distinguished Unit Citation and French Croix de Guerre with Palm for his bravery.
This book was written to honor and preserve RayLittge's memory for his family and for those interested in the history of WWII as well as what life was like growing up in rural Missouri in the 1920s, 1930s and beyond, as told in Altheda's voice through her diary, included in the book.
