"Mr. Lewis was in the 3rd troop transport that landed on Omaha beach. He was the only person in his unit to make it off the beach alive. All that rest were mortally wounded and or died later from their wounds. He was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge, He returned to the battlefield and helped take Germany. He won two purple hearts, Silver Star and two Bronze Stars.
He returned from the war and married his high school sweetheart. Was a school teacher for 35 years. Played the trombone. In his late 70's, both him and him wife would go to the ocean and swim a 1/2 mile a day, every day.
He was known as Mr. Lewis to everyone not because he was a war hero who saved many American lives but how he conducted his life when he returned from war."
Incredible.
