Description

"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."  - George S. Patton

Wally Reitz, Oregon’s own 97-year-old Veteran shares his first-hand accounts of WWII’s Battle of the Bulge. Wally’s insights on being a soldier, serving his country, and living through it to be a husband and father are priceless. It is always the Eleventh Hour on the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month that we all stop to remember the heroes who have made a difference serving their country.

Wally Rietz, an ordinary man, shares his extraordinary story of service to his country during WWII. At 97 years of age, Wally relives serving in the Battle of the Bulge and then walking into the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps. He has seen the best and the worst of humankind. We salute all the men and women who have fought for our freedom, life, and liberty and whose sacrifices in the past allow us to have peace as we age in Portland today.

Don’t miss this “up close and personal” salute to Veterans on the Aging Today podcast.

*This is a replay in honor of Wally Reitz's amazing story. *
