Richard Graff, formerly of Vienna, showed Nysmith students from Herndon a photo taken of himself on V-E Day in 1945 when war in Europe came to an end 70 years ago. He still wears his uniform when sharing experiences of the war, and brings a Nazi flag he captured.

Richard Graff didn't hesitate to describe his darkest days while serving in World War II. "Every combat soldier has to get used to the bodies," he said. "Whenever I think back to that one day when I didn't think I would have another day, you bet, I'm glad to be here," Graff said.
