World War Two veterans honored

I attended the luncheon  honoring World War II veterans Friday at Barksdale Air Force Base.  I was accompanied by my wife, Jen, and brother, Jon.  Among the veterans were two who were at Hawaii when the Japanese attacked December 7, 1941, and two survived the Philippine death march.

Veterans  were recognized as they paraded through the "Saber Honor March."  Last to be recognized were those receiving the Louisiana Honor Medal, of which I was one.
