Very touching story. It brought tears to my eyes.
I notice in the obituarys every day that there are fewer and fewer flags denoting the death of a veteran.
I have coffee a couple times a week with a Pearl Harbor survivor. He was on the Shaw. He is so full of scrapnel that he can not have an MRI. Last week he was itching his breast bone. He said feel that. It was what he thought to be about a 6 mm slug.
He said they want to take it out but it has been there so long now it is a part of me.
The neatest thing is that he is "carrying". Buck will be 85 in July.
