This is my Grandpa, the World War II veteran. He was a tail gunner in the war. Because he was so small, his job was to sit in the tail of the plane and shoot at the enemy. He is an amazing person to talk to because of the stories he can still recall about this time in his life. If you haven't been to his office, you should! It is a shrine of memories from his war days to his days as Mayor. My boys were in awe of all his pictures and memorabilia. It's hard to believe he lived through the war considering his plane was shot down while he was recovering in an army hospital from an earlier gun shot wound. What's even harder to believe is that we are at war right now and that men and women are fighting for us, so that we can enjoy our daily freedoms. Here's a big thank you to my grandpa and all the other men and women who love our country like I do and want to keep my kids and me safe! Happy Veterans Day!
