A highly decorated American hero from the Greatest Generation joined me on the radio

Glen Fisher, who joined the U.S. Army at age 15 immediately following the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.

On December 7, 1941 after Pearl Harbor was attacked, 15-year-old Glen Fisher lied about his age so that he could join the U.S. Army and defend America. The Bedford, Kentucky native was eventually sent to the front lines and fought through the end of the war.

Colonel Fisher is a highly decorated veteran who was injured by Nazi artillery. Instead of going home, he insisted that he could go back to his unit and continue the fight.

Now 94, Colonel Fisher told some of his story today on 840WHAS 🎙 LISTEN tinyurl.com/y5zgos7m #GreatestGeneration #WWII #WoundedWarrior #WarHeroes
