Salute to Veterans
Written by Sandi Kemp on . Posted in News.
The three-day WWII AirPower Expo at the New Orleans, La. Lakefont Airport ended Sunday but left a lifetime of memories for those in attendance. This event was a must-see for those that enjoy history, vintage aircraft, air shows, and veterans eager to share their stories. One such veteran was Mervin T. Medine, 94, from Baton Rouge who was there even though he lost his wife of 73 years, Dorothy, earlier that very week. During WWII, Medine was a machine gun sergeant with the 104th Infantry Division, also known as the Timberwolves. “I was in France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany…” and more as his voice trailed off. His son, Bruce, explained that he was hard of hearing. “He was very near to the Battle of the Bulge, said Bruce about his father. Medine was awarded both the Bronze Star and the Silver Star. The citation for his Silver Star states that it was “for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving with the 104th Infantry Division during World War II.”
