Throughout our Flags for Heroes campaign, we've had the privilege of learning about the incredible veterans who have served our country with courage and dedication. These stories, filled with sacrifice and resilience, serve as a powerful reminder of the true meaning of patriotism.
We’re honored to share the story of Delbert Paul Laws, a courageous veteran who joined the Army at just 16 and served on the front lines of the Korean War.
Story submitted by Lisa Laws Jenkins “My Father, who is an active 91 year old, joined the Army being underage, (he was 16). He was shipped over to fight on the front lines of the Korean War we're he served and fought proudly. Barely 18 years old, he was shot and wounded and was awarded the Purple Heart. By the young age of 19 he was a wounded War Veteran. He proudly recognizes the Army for helping him get his GED. His younger brother, is Missing in Action in the Vietnam War, we're he served with the Special Forces of the Green Berets."
Thank you, Delbert, for your honorable service, sacrifice, and dedication.
