Donald Stratton, was 1 of 3 remaining USS Arizona survivors. He passed away last weekend. The attack on the Arizona resulted in him being burned over 70% of his body. He spent a year in the hospital and received a medical discharge. He re-enlisted and saw action in the Pacific until the end of the war..
The fascinating story of Medal of Honor recipient Russell Dunham. He was responsible for taking out three German emplacements, the final two after being shot in the back and bleeding severely. My wife and I recently went on a bike ride to the Veterans Memorial Island Sanctuary on Farley Island in Vero Beach Florida. It's a relatively new memorial park that we both believed extended the respect, honor, and dignity to all our military veterans.
He stormed the beaches at Normandy on D-Day. He led his group of 12 off the beach without suffering a single casualty. His brother Roland was to storm the Normandy beach that day. Walter would learn a month later that his brother was killed when his transport had taken a direct hit just as the ramp was being lowered. He doesn't consider himself a hero for his actions, but he does consider his brother Roland and all the other men who paid the ultimate price to be the real heroes. This year is the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. We must never forget or allow this to happen again. https://scrapbookpages.com/AuschwitzScrapbook/History/Articles/Liberation.html… 91 year old Clyde Henry Baldwin is laid to rest by hundreds who did not know him. Thank you for your service to our country. May you rest in eternal peace.
