Charles Nelson, U.S. Air Force: “I went into the Air Force in 1952. My service took me to quite a few places, including being stationed in Alaska before it became a state. I was in communications – we were spying on Russia back then. I met a lot of guys that I stayed in touch with over the years but many of them have passed on. But if the Lord lets me see the 12th of March next year, I will be 90 years old and am thankful for everything He has given me.”
