WWII Veteran on NBC Nightly News?

[Redtracer]

I was watching the NBC Nightly News this evening, when they did a wonderful story on the friendship between a WWII Veteran and his young next door neighbor in Minnesota. Brought a tear to my eye. He reminded me of my own Grandfather, right down to the tomatoes and seems like a fine representative of everything I love about our WWII Veterans. I also noticed he was wearing a reunion hat with a B-24 on the front. Does anyone know this Veteran? Or where he served?

I'm really going to miss these guys when they are all gone......

Thanks Red

The veteran's name is Erling Kindem and he was a member of the 455th BG and served aboard B-24's as a radio operator, operating out of Italy as I recall.
