Veterans recall war memories at Aiken First Presbyterian Church
Aiken veterans from the Greatest Generation shared WWII stories at a First Presbyterian Church event. About 160 attendees displayed memorabilia from helmets to v mail and canteens in an army mess hall setting. Bill Stanley, a WWII bomber crew member of The Worry Bird, recalled 1944 Italy and noted he is the only surviving member of his band of brothers. John Hunter earned a medal for service near Japan's Northern Mariana Islands as a B 29 commander, with his late father’s church connection helping present the award via surprised crew member Bob Wetter.
