Happy Birthday, Sir

Lt. Gwynn served in both WWII and the Korean War. He was on the beaches of Normandy during the 1944 invasion. 

Wounded 20 times, Lt. Gwynn says pain never stopped him from fighting.

    "Sir" is the only proper salutation for such a man.
    I honor your service, Lt. Gwynn.

    One question. Can our nation ever possibly become the nation that this man sacrificed so much for again?

    Not to rain on a parade, but a picture shows a CIB with two stars. That requires three wars as an infantryman.
