Our Feel-Good Story Of The Day!
United States Marine Corps Major Bill White served 30 years in active duty in the USMC. He was wounded in the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945, and earned a Purple Heart, which he says is the medal he’s most proud of.
Now in his 54th year of retirement, Bill spends his days dining with his friends in Stockton, staying active and scrapbooking, which is one of his favorite hobbies. He keeps a lifetime full of memories carefully preserved on the bookshelves in his room, each organized by year.
For Valentine’s Day, White said he wants to add to his collection with cards from people near and far.
“I’ll save every one of them like I’ve been saving little things that have come up until right now and they’ll be a personal part of my history,”
If you, your kids, or your classroom would like to send Maj. Bill White a Valentine’s Day card this year, address it to:
