Humbled to Have Known Him, Glad He's Getting His Due

Until Pearl Harbor survivor John Latko died a year and a half ago, he was a treasured member of our church, and his son, also John, faithfully brought him each week.

John, the son, still pops in from time to time.

We all knew John was special, and he made frequent appearances at various veterans events.

Now his hometown of Hammond is recognizing John and his bravery.

I say, it's about time.
