It’s too bad more people don’t know his story. He lived to be 110 years old. He enlisted in the army at age 16 to fight in WW1, was a prisoner of war in WW2 of the Japanese for 3 years, and after release in 1945 led a quiet life as a West Virginia farmer.
The US Government waived the usual requirements so he could be buried at Arlington.
We miss so much by not paying attention to the stories of our forefathers. Thank you for posting this.
