All the pictures you'll find of me are with family and friends. Lets face it, they're what's important. However, during a Patriot Guard mission yesterday delivering care packages to vets in nursing homes and assisted living homes, I had the honor of meeting the most interesting man I know. His name is Mr. Donald Blanchard in New Iberia, LA. Mr. Donald is a WWII vet and a survivor of the Battle of the Bulge. At 90 yrs old, his mind is still sharp and he still gets around well. As you can see from this crappy cell phone pic, Mr. Donald recorded quite a bit of his time in the European Theater with photographs. We spent way too much time letting him tell us stories about way too few of the pics as we had way more vets to visit.
I just had to ask Mr. Donald if he would give me the honor of taking his picture with me, which he gladly agreed to. You can bet I'll get back to Mr. Donald to get more information on him and his adventures in the near future!
Thank you for your service and sacrifice for our country, Mr. Donald. And God Bless you!
