Two WWII vets finally get medals
Two WWII vets finally get medals | pnj.com | Pensacola News Journal
See the link for the full article. This is a great story about Floyd Enfinger. You can see him in the photo here at the News Journal.
This from the article:
"I'm so thankful to the good Lord that I am here today. It was serious times back then," Enfinger said. "I'm kind of at a loss. There are other people who are certainly worthy and entitled to the medals more than I am. My brother gave his life at the Battle of the Bulge in 1945."
Floyd's brother Adrian was, I think killed in a town not far from Mannheim, Germany. There were a number of Enfinger boys and their cousins who served in WWII.
