Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors WWII veterans Jacques Michienzi and George Chall. Jacques served as an Army Airborne Ranger in WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. George was a combat medic with General George Patton’s Third Army. There were a lot of stories that came out of Normandy this week, and thanks to 6 North Carolina college students, Jacques and George have a Normandy story too. The students began planning the fundraiser to get these veterans to Normandy for the 75th Anniversary 5 years ago. Student Elena Lowinger who made the trip with the veterans said, “The reason why I’m standing here is because these men stood here – 75 years ago, and as a Jewish girl, it’s something I can never say thank you enough for.” Jacques and George, thank you for your service.
