American Legion Post #223 held a Book Signing featuring Veteran
and Local Author Bill Hall. During the evening, Mr. Hall read
passages from his new book They Gave Blood, Sweat and
Tears which chronicles the stories of 50 Veterans from World
War II to Operation Iraqi Freedom. One of the passages was the
opening paragraph to the chapter which tells the story of WWII
Combat Veteran and American Legion Post #223 Member, Walter
"Pops" Gray.
Walter Gray woke up west of Berlin in
the middle of World War II to the sight of the enemy artillery,
three German tanks pointing their guns at him and his fellow
troops.
