WW2 Hero.

I took my stepmother to the Dr. today for lab work. I was sitting in the lab waiting room and started talking to an older gentleman. He was upset about no energy, several medical issues. He finally told me he was 91. I'm a history lover, so of course I asked if he served in WW2. He did! He flew Hellcat fighters for the Navy. I spent almost 40 minutes listening to his amazing stories, being shot up by a Zero and crash landing on a carrier deck, meeting his wife at Guam. Also, during the Japanese surrender he was flying above the ceremony as guard. I told him I would gladly help him on his home repairs at no charge for a few days and gave him my number. I don't think he'll call, but I hope he does....
