Tuesdays With Pappo
Back on January 10, 1946, this handsome young man joined the US Army in Johnson County, Texas. He is now 96 years old.....and one of less than 1% of the US population still alive who served in WWII.
His son-in-law, Wayne Sekerke, felt it was about time he received the medal he was long overdue in receiving. It is called the Victory Medal.
After months of working with government red tape, Wayne and the Johnson County VA Representative, James, were finally successful in securing this medal for Pappo.
Last Thursday and a mere 78 years after stepping foot into the Johnson County Courthouse in Cleburne, Texas with draft papers in his hand, he returned there for a surprise presentation of this WWII Victory Medal.
We hope you enjoy watching our family's very own G.I. Joe celebrating and receiving this long overdue Victory Medal.
