My Turn: 15 years later, recalling the words of Wally Connally
Wood
Last week, my husband handed me a faded, folded copy of the Coeur d’Alene Press. It was dated Sept. 12, 2011. He found the paper among his father’s things. My father-in-law, Maj. Robert “Doug” Wood, was a war veteran who flew air lift support missions in Vietnam.
This paper contained an article I had written 15 years ago while working as a sergeant at the Coeur d’Alene Police Department. I had written it to honor my friend, war hero Wally Connally’s 90th birthday. I can only surmise Doug kept the article because it meant something to him. Veterans share a forever bond that is deeply understood by other veterans.
