This story was posted in another forum I belong to. An U.S. Army veteran got his decorations for service in World War II on Wednesday and died Thursday.

What a great story. It's amazing how he waited until he received his medals before he passed away. My grandfather passed away this Wednesday and he waited until his favorite nurse came before he went. You can't tell me that God doesn't have a plan for all of us.
