Levi Loyd Morrow was born on January 30, 1924, in Emory, Rains County, Texas. He was the son of Levi Levin Morrow and Edna May Davis Morrow. He served in the 826th Bomber Squadron, 484th Bomber Group, Heavy, as a Sergeant and Ball Turret Gunner of B-24J #42-51967 nicknamed ''Strange Cargo'' during World War II.

On March 4, 1945, the B-24 Strange Cargo was hit by flak during a bombing mission over Graz, Austria, tearing off its nose turret and sending it into a spin. Two crew members died in the aircraft, while others bailed out. Of those who parachuted to safety, two were taken as POWs, but four were murdered after capture. When local police refused an SS order to execute the Americans, a German soldier killed four of them.

Sgt Morrow was captured and shot by a German soldier after parachuting safely to the ground. He is now buried in the Lorraine American Cemetery and Memorial, Saint-Avold, Departement de la Moselle, Lorraine, France.
