    “I pray every night with this thing , I really do “ as he held her card/letter
    “You don’t think I’m soft do you “

      I saw this on CBS's On the Road with Steve Hartman. At the end of the story he said she's like his 3rd daughter and she called him family.

    Made me cry in a good way. I'm 68. My Silver Star father was pinned down at the "Battel of the Bulge" and woke up in a field hospital. My 1/2 brother was on an aircraft carrier off the Korean coast when "things were hot" there. I was in Army ATC school when Saigon fell and ended up stationed near the Czech border monitoring recon 'Copters not too far from Dad's position when WWII came to an end.
