Growing up, just about every younger man I knew was a WWII vet. Some of the old timers were WWI vets. But the years have passed and now I personally know only two of the WWII vet, both of whom are members of my church.
Last year I had the privilege of escorting Mr. Lafitte to a display of WWII aircraft, including the B-17 and B-24 on which he flew over 30 missions as a turret gunner. Two of his planes were shot down. He's in his late 80s; may be 90 now.
Mr. Sanders was in the water at 0630 at Utah Beach on D-Day, a member of the 294th Combat Engineers. He survived five major battles in France, Belgium and Germany. He has told me some of his experiences. He was interviewed for a private oral history program, but he declined to give a newspaper interview.
Shown here at his 70th wedding anniversary, Mr. Frank is about 94 now.
