Local WWII Vet Takes Two Memorable Trips

I am now a 92-year-old veteran who remembers Civil War vets participating in July 4th parades down 1st Avenue in downtown Seattle in the late 1920s and early 30s, about 65 years after that war’s end. It is now 70 years after World War II, and there are still a few of us surviving WWII vets.
