Harvey Kurz and Joe Demler are emblematic of the heroes next door: ordinary men doing extraordinary things - in a time when our country desperately needed their courage. In the first clip, Harvey describes his experience at the flag raising on Iwo Jima. The second interview is with Joe Demler; Joe shares his experiences as a POW in WWII. Today, Joe says that “every day is a bonus.” Thanks to veterans like Joe and Harvey, we agree! In fact, Joe’s words now adorn the back of every Stars and Stripes Honor Flight jacket.
