I was in attendance at the Celebration at the Station in 2008 when he was the guest of honor. Didn't have the honor of meeting him personally, but he spoke to those in attendance and one would've never guessed that he was 107 years old.

Thanks and RIP.

God's blessings upon all who have served so that I am free to do my job.

”There is a port of no return, where ships
may ride at anchor for a little space.
And then some starless night the cable slips,
leaving only an eddy at the mooring place.
Gulls veer no longer, Sailor rest your oar.
No tangled wreckage will be washed ashore.”

This brings tears to my eyes. It's important to remember these people and these events. People gave their lives for our country and we need to remember them and why they made the ultimate sacrifice.

I can't begin to imagine the things he saw in his lifetime. It boggles my mind. We lost a treasure.
