A Veterans Day tribute aboard the ‘PT 109’
WYANET — Bureau County has had its share of veterans, men and women who heard the call from their country and answered it, some even giving their lives in the cause.
But of all of Bureau County’s heroes, there’s probably only one who was immortalized in a Hollywood movie and in a pop song by singer Jimmy Dean.
Of course, there was also probably one veteran whose life was saved by the future president of the United States.
