LtCol Robert Rosenthal was my Squadron Commander during my combat tour with the 100th Bomb Group, Eighth Air Force, in World War ll. Col. Rosenthal was universally respected and admired by all who knew him because of his iron-willed integrity and high character. His memory is an icon of honesty setting an example for personal honor for generations to come.

Rosie was really a true hero and legend. He was inspiration to many and loved by us - the younger generation, also as by his men of the 350th and 418th BS of the 100th BG. Thank you Rosie for your duty, your nice friendship and love. Deep sympathy to Philis and the entire family. In behalf of your Czech friends and your men perished on 11th September 1944...

A truly admirable person. A genuine patriot.
I would like to say more, but I cannot find the words.

My husband, a physician, clipped out the obit and showed it to me.
I never knew Robert Rosenthal, but I sent his obituary to my children and grandchildren. I want them to be proud of a real Jewish-American hero.

A Legend (though he wouldn't admit it), a Hero to those of us who came after, and a real Man worthy of admiration and love. Thank you Rosie for all you did for us.

"Rosie" Rosenthal arrived at the Bloody Hundredth as a replacement and left as a legend. With 52 missions with this outfit it is nothing short of unbelievable that he not only survived but became an icon and a perfect example of what a combat pilot should be.

I am very sorry for the loss of "Rosie". My late father (Ted Don 100th BG, 349th BS) held him in very high esteem. It was my pleasure and honor to meet and talk with "Rosie" at one of the 100th BG reunions. The nation has lost a true hero.

The 100th BG has lost one of its greatest with the death of "Rosie", a man of courage, determination and high character. He was my CO in the 418th BS. My condolences to Phyllis and the children.
