I would like to pay tribute to this man who sacrificed for our country. Thank you Mr. Bankston. I know the family is very proud of his service. May God see fit to offer peace to all of you as you mourn the loss of your father/grandfather/great-grandfather.

I totally agree. I copied the post and sent it to a friend I used to work with. She loves all the vets, but especially all the WWII vets.
