Expected, some can’t handle SEC recruiting -
Great list of #77 honorees. Each is deserving in his own way. Mauldin probably served in Europe and perhaps Africa. There were few B17 and B24 bombers in the Pacific theatre. It took the sophisticated B29 to handle the long distances and high altitudes across the Pacific to bomb Japan. The B29 was never used in Europe as it was a later developed bomber.

Nice to see these guys supporting one another like this.

So a correction on Mauldin. He did NOT pass away during WW2. Here is the rundown: Stan Mauldin’s World War II Service and Death World War II Service Enlistment and Role: After his standout football career at the University of Texas, Stan Mauldin enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. He served as a navigator on a B-24 Liberator bomber, a heavy bomber used extensively by the U.S. in various theaters of the war. Service Details: While specific details about his missions or theater of operations (e.g., Europe, Pacific, or elsewhere) are not fully documented in the provided sources, Mauldin’s role as a navigator would have involved critical tasks such as plotting flight paths, managing navigation equipment, and ensuring the aircraft reached its targets and returned safely. Navigators were essential to the success of bombing missions, often under intense combat conditions. Survival of the War: Mauldin survived his wartime service, which included dangerous missions typical of B-24 crews facing enemy fighters, anti-aircraft fire, and mechanical risks. He returned to civilian life after the war ended in 1945. Death Date and Place: Stan Mauldin died on September 24, 1948, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Cause of Death: According to available information, Mauldin suffered a heart attack during a football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Rams. He was attending the game as a spectator, not as a player, and was only 27 years old at the time. This tragic event occurred just three years after the end of World War II, cutting short the life of a decorated athlete and veteran. Context: The heart attack was sudden and unexpected, especially given Mauldin’s youth and athletic background. No specific details in the sources indicate whether underlying health conditions or wartime injuries contributed to his death, but heart issues in young adults can sometimes be linked to stress, undetected conditions, or other factors. Legacy Posthumous Recognition: Mauldin’s contributions to both football and his country were honored after his death. In 1969, he was inducted into the Texas Longhorns Hall of Honor, recognizing his athletic achievements and his service as a war veteran. Memorialization: His story is remembered as part of the University of Texas’s proud tradition of athletes who served in World War II, many of whom faced significant risks and sacrifices.
