Re: [kwvets] West Wing
Tonight on NBC at 9 p.m. EST, show called "West Wing" - a story about a
Korean War vet, 2d Bn, 7th Marines, found dead on a bench next to the Korean
War Veterans Memorial at D.C. The vet was wearing coat he bought at a
goodwill store that once belonged to a big wig in the White House who was
then called to view the dead vet. He noticed a tatoo on the man's arm
identifying his unit, checked the man out and then went on to make sure the
vet had the kind of a funeral every vet deserves. The funeral ceremony at
Arlington was an emotional ride, even for the TV watcher. A very
heart-warming, touching story - a jaw-tightener at times. Great shots of the
Memorial, statues and the wall. Hope some of you saw it. Marty
