Bought my 84 old Uncle lunch today. His favorite place for lunch. Nappanee, IN Chinese food, Amish waitress, country music on the radio.....

One of the ones we really need to thank. Drafted out of HS in 43, missed his Senior year. A couple of years in not so merry old England. Normandy D-Day +4. All the way through France as a scout. Wounded in the Battle of the Bulge. Recovery took months. Back to Belgium to drive the brass around for 6 months after VE day. Bronze Star, two Purple hearts.

Thanks Unc!
