"When we get a veteran, they get a certificate and they get a little lapel pin of the flag. By the rules of this Veteran Administration Program, only a veteran can put the pin on another veteran...I'm an emotional Italian, I cry at anything, but I went to one in particular where the man was semiconscious, his daughter was there and his grandson, who was in the Air Force home on emergency leave from Japan to see his grandfather before he died. So the guy, the better, was a Viet-no, Korean vet... I read the certificate and I said to the grandson, 'Do you want to pin your grandfather?' We were all sobbing."
