November 11, 1992, Twin City News-Record
Let's extend the Veterans Day observance one more day this week. Here is the story of one of America's Finest, those brave individuals who served in World War II. We lost Don in the last year, after a long life of giving of himself in ways that the majority of us do not have the courage for. I'm proud that Don lived long enough to see the turnaround in people's attitudes with an increased recognition of veterans and their service. Regardless of whether the change in attitude for this was 9-11 or our reaction to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Americans today better respect the institutions that give us our freedom. We owe a debt of gratitude to the likes of Don Lesperance and his ilk...one of Menasha's own.
