The last picture is of a veteran from our church, 89 years old. He died of a stroke last week, I had the privilege of doing his funeral Saturday. He fought in WW2, he joined shortly after he was married. He fought for 3 years and was involved in all kinds of battles in N. Africa and took part in 2 beach landings, at Sicily and Italy. He was stuck on the beach in Anzio for like 6 months.
He told me that he basically got a hot shower once each year and slept on the ground for 3 years. Unexpectedly, he suffered a fatal stroke 2 weeks ago; but at least he got to relive some memories at the MV show. He did tell me that the driver of the 2.5 ton truck he rode in kept wine in the jerry can on the step!
