Tough-As-Nails WWII Vet Shares His Experiences



Jul 7, 2009 3 Comments ›› Erik Wong

From the post author:

89 year old Russell C. tells how he was blown up in a tank, and avoided capture, just inside the German border, 65 years ago.

I went back to Ohio to visit my mom on her 90th birthday, and she introduced me to her “boyfriend”. I thought his stories were too important not to preserve and share.

A colorful character with detailed memories of WWII. Even after having his leg shattered, and his hearing impaired, he went back to his company to give the Germans some more.

    We’re losing 1000 of these men a day. What a shame. I’m so glad my Grandpa told me all about his time in China during WWII. My uncle has his written accounts. Priceless.
