WWII hero I’m proud to know. 100 years. 1 Week, 5 Days ago  
Honored to know this man over the last 10+ years. Have heard the stories first hand and they are awe inspiring. One of the most humble heros I have ever met (probably the most). Served on PT boats in the South Pacific during WWII. I’ve read his name in books and have seen a pic (and the painting of said pic) taken from his boat while they were being attacked by Japanese zeros. Army Air Corps showed up and helped out quite a bit. Jack O Diamonds was the name of one of the PT boats (can’t remember the name the other one involved right now). Figured there’s enough interest here to appreciate such a thing. Man turned 100 this past Wednesday and they had a get together at a local VFW hall. Puts life into a different perspective for me when I think about it.
