For nearly seven decades, former 1st Sgt. Carl Green has been working to ensure that America never forgets World War II.

As the youngest of four brothers who served in the war, Green, now 88, and his wife, Merle, house a collection of artifacts and memorabilia in their Houston home that rivals any museum's.The collection began after Green joined the Army and was deployed to Europe. He says he would ship “the stuff” back to his wife -- “stuff” that wound up including the original newspapers thrown from an airplane announcing that the war was over.

As mentioned the SteamWake on one occasion, when no one "had had time to comment" he say only one word, OBAMA!
