I sit down with Eddie Janek, one of the few living WWII veterans. At just 17 years old and barely 5 feet tall, Eddie stormed the beaches of Peleliu as a beachmaster, later he witnessed atomic bomb tests from just miles away, after that he served again in the Korean War. But his story doesn’t stop with the military, he came home to coach baseball for decades, serve as a county commissioner, and raise a family rooted in service and community.
