WWII Heroes Recognized

The effects of World War II are still being felt by many.  Nightmares of days gone by haunt them.  Lost loved ones are still missed.  But, stories of heroes are still remembered and shared.  And honors are still being given to those who risked everything.

In France, six US veterans will be honored with the country's highest award, the Legion of Honor.  The honored veterans showed great bravery and critical action that helped liberate France from German invasion in 1944-1945.


Those that will be honored are Orville Stanley Smith, George Wheeler, Benjamin Herlong, Harry Duvall, John McCarty, and Truman Trotter.  Each are from South Carolina.
