Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Baxter Springs, Kansas World War II Veteran Hadley Heavin. Hadley served on the USS West Virginia when it was attacked at Pearl Harbor. Torpedos and bombs destroyed the ship and Hadley was killed in action. His family thought his story ended that day as his remains had never been found, let alone identified. That is until recently. Yesterday, Hadley’s remains came home to U.S. soil and there will be a memorial held for him this weekend. Welcome home Hadley and thank you for your service and your sacrifice.
