311 - Walter and Pat – Abington, MA WWII Veterans
Abington Massachusetts Veterans Service Officer Adam Gunn reached out to me about interviewing two brothers who served during World War Two. Pat, “Skinny”, who is 101 years old, and his brother Walter who is 99 years old grew up and served out of Abington, Massachusetts.
Walter served in Military Police in the Army. Skinny was a Supply Depot Manager in the Marine Corps. Skinny is the oldest person and Marine that I have ever had on Oscar Mike Radio.
Joining us was Massachusetts State Representative Allyson Sullivan who grew up in Abington and knows these Veterans well.
This story is unique that two brothers served in different branches, in different parts of the world, and then came home and made lives for themselves after World War Two.
Thank you, Adam Gunn and State Representative Allyson Sullivan, for putting together my time with Walter and Skinny. World War Two Veterans are a treasure, and I appreciate how you both work to preserve the legacy they built for us.
Thanks for all the support from my sponsors Joyce Asack of Asack Real Estate and Army National Guard Veteran Mark Holmes of Reapers Detailing and Powerwashing.
