Great-Grandpa Anderson

Nels Anderson - 1923 - 2011
My great-granddad Anderson passed away unexpectedly on July 1. He was my papa Anderson's dad. My dad says great-granddad Anderson was a great example of "The Greatest Generation". He served in the pacific in World War II and never spoke about his experiences until after he went on his Honor Flight a couple of years ago. I always enjoyed my trips there to see him and great-grandma in Holyrood, KS. My last trip there was in April when my Grandpa Deiter and my dad went to get a lawn mower that great-granddad gave to my dad. That was just two weeks after we were in Holyrood for their 65th wedding anniversary in April.
