What I Fought For - An Aging Veteran's Love Letter to America
Dave Mann went to war just days after his 18th birthday, not fully understanding what he was getting into. He was young, green, inexperienced. When he came back three years later he had seen horrendous battle, lost countless buddies, and cheated death more than once. He was awarded a Purple Heart, survived the attack on D-Day, fought the Battle of the Bulge, and still gets a lump in his throat each time he sees our flag. Dave feels he is nothing special. "I just did what I had to do because I was trained that way. And I love my country."
