Saw this today too.The article I read said he never told anyone about where he served until a few years ago. He worked as a watchmaker for 40 years. These guys are some serious role models, so much humility.

It's sure sad to see these guys go. I lost my friend and neighbor in September, he was 90, a mobile A-A gunner with 1st. Army, 1944-1945.
