Daniel Albert Abraham was born on December 24, 1922, in Waynesburg, Greene County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Albert K. Abraham and Mary K. Deeb Abraham. He attended high school in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, and spent two years at Waynesburg College. He served in the 700th Bomb Squadron, 445th Bomb Group, Heavy, as a Second Lieutenant and Navigator of B-24H #42-95128 nicknamed 'Bonnie Vee' during World War II.

On September 27, 1944, Bonnie Vee took part in the 445th Bombardment Group’s mission from RAF Tibenham, England, targeting the Henschel industrial works at Kassel, Germany. Due to navigational error under heavy cloud cover, the 445th strayed from the main bomber stream and lost its fighter escort, bombing near Göttingen instead of the intended target. Isolated from the larger formation, the group was attacked by a large force of German fighters, including heavily armed Fw 190s. During the intense engagement, Bonnie Vee was shot down near Richelsdorf, Germany.

2Lt Abraham was Killed in Action in the incident and he is now buried in the Oak Spring Cemetery, Canonsburg, Washington County, Pennsylvania, USA.
