A World War II veteran is making another contribution to U.S. history, more than 60 years after the Bronze Star recipient served his country.
Herman Graebner, 89, remembers virtually every detail of his four years in the U.S. Army. What he didn't reveal until recently though, was that he had shot two reels of color movie film of the action he saw in the war.
Graebner, spry, alert, and bright eyed, says he put the two canisters of film into a box sometime after the war ended in 1945. "I had come back home," he said, "and my wife Marilynn and I were starting a family."
