Reuben Stolhammar was a 92-year old veteran of WW2. After a close encounter with death on Iwo Jima, he returned home a hero to marry his sweetheart Doris. Rube was always delighted to tell folks his stories and sometimes teasingly asked them if they wanted to feel the scar on his head.
In a pocket over his heart, he always carried several photos of the young and handsome Doris and Rube and a newspaper clipping announcing his return home as a celebrated war hero. It was one of those iconic American photos from WW2.
