ELKHART, Ind. -- A pair of World War II Veterans were saluted for their service more than 80 years ago.
Dale Smith, 102, and John McNichols, 99, are both residents at Hubbard Hill Living Community.
"I wasn't expecting it, so I am pleased. I'll think about it overnight,” said McNichols who served in the Navy.
On Wednesday, the pair received a Community Hero Award from Homes for Heroes while humbly reflecting on their lives.
"I so appreciate and don't feel like I deserve this and I just want to thank you all for that,” said Dale Smith who served in the Army while looking through old photos.
