(14,014 posts)44. Another disabled Vet from a long ago war
The great, charming, and very funny Harold Russell. He became a tireless advocate for employment of wounded veterans,
after he was injured training others in bomb defusing during WWll. He of course also stared and won 2 oscars for his role in one of the best movies about veterans adjusting - or not- to life after returning from combat: The Best Years of Our Lives
He often joked that he could anything with his hooks..."except pick up a dinner check."
Thanks to veterans of all wars on this Veterans Day 2012.
