I had the pleasure of being guest of honor next to CMH Dunham at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library grand opening ceremony with (then) President George Bush. I still have that photo of he (Dunham) and I. That was the one salute I gave that I will never forget.

What a crazy story. Definitely one of the best from the greatest generation.

That's my Uncle Russell. I remember him living in Jerseyville Illinois with a glass case full of metals and a farm. My grandpa loved him alot. Rest easy to both of them.

My unit in Vietnam had a pair of twins. After one lost his life, the other accompanied his brother's body home, then volunteered to return (which he did).
