Hero Salute - George Mills

This morning-- and all throughout the month of november, we are honoring our military service members right here on waay 31.

Time now for our waay 31 hero salute.

This morning's waay 31 hero salute goes out to one of decatur's favorite sons-- wwii veteran, george mills.

These photos were sent to us from his friends, the snyder family.

Sgt mills served in the u-s army 28th infantry division.

He is a purple heart recipient.

He fought from normandy to the battle of the bulge.

He was captured and walked for five months as a prisoner of war from luxembourg to czechoslovakia.

He continues to serve his community through his church and kiwanis.

The snyder family says the 99-year-old drives to their house every sunday after church for lunch-- and "we love him."
