Today, I salute World War II Marine Veteran Larry Pressley. Larry Pressley is one of the first World War II “atomic veterans” and was awarded an Atomic Veterans Commemorative Service Medal. Pressley’s surprise ceremony was the result of Victoria Kelly and Karin Tanabe, who are producing an upcoming PBS documentary, “Atomic Echoes: Untold Stories of World War II.” Pressley will be featured in the documentary, which premieres August 1. Congratulations on your medal, Larry. Thank you for telling your story, and THANK YOU for your service.
