"My Neighbor Is a D-Day Hero" by Randell Jones - reprise 2023

This story is offered for the 79th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944. It is the experience that day of my next-door neighbor as he wrote it years later. He is now 99-1/2 and he turns 100 on Dec. 7, Pearl Harbor Day. This version of the story ran three years ago when he was 96. It first ran when he was 95. Two years ago he learned that he had been awarded a fourth Purple Heart to accompany his Bronze Star. This story is offered in honor and memory of all World War II veterans with special appreciation for your service, Horace. Thank you, and thank you, veterans, all.
