This was one of the World War II Veterans from the trip. His name is Guadelupe Flores. At the beginning of the trip, he was going outside the hotel that morning and stopped before getting out the way of the revolving door. Well it pushed him off balance and he fell hitting his head. We were pretty worried about his condition but he was so determined to go to the events of the day that he didn’t go to the hospital until that evening! He had brought pictures of himself when he was a young soldier and would hand them out to the many kids that would come up to him.
