Re: Veterans day story
Gary, thank you for your service. As far as the co worker, he was a manager, I was a working stiff, I rarely saw him. One of the things he said before he had to sell it, was that he had a 63 409/425 horse Impala and what a bunch of fun that one was. I don't remember the details of his conversation other than that he received three Purple Hearts. The third one probably sent him stateside, now that you mention it. The details of the unit he was assigned to came to me through another older co-worker who knew him.I don't think anybody would try to lie about that,although his facts might have beed hazy. I haven't seen this veteran in over 30 years and have no idea where he is. I hope he's alive and doing well, just like I'm glad for all the vets I know who still are. Whatever the situation, that's what the story was that I got. He never discussed it with me, but I couldn't help but thank him.
