I thought it would be appropriate to revive this post which is a first-hand account of my father-in-law’s experience during World War II. You might especially appreciate it if you’re a history buff. He had great stories of convalescing including taking a golf lesson from Ben Hogan and being sung to by Doris Day at his bedside. Pretty cool. His recovery took months and he nearly lost both legs. But somehow, they were able to save them.

I’m not sure where this was taken. If you can identify the location, please leave a comment.

Thank you to anyone who has served our country in any branch of the armed services and their families. We owe you everything.
