Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Navy Veteran Paul Grisham in an unbelievable story. In 1967 Paul was stationed as a Navy Meteorologist in Antarctica where he reported for the science station and airport on Ross Island. He was there for 13-months before he returned to California. The one thing that didn’t make the return trip was his wallet. 53-years later, his old wallet was found by a father/daughter team during the demolition of a building at the southernmost town on Earth. Inside was his Navy ID, a beer ration punch card, a card with instructions on what to do in the event of an atomic, biological or chemical weapons attack and a recipe for homemade Kahlua. The Spirit of 45 Non-Profit helped track Paul Down and return the wallet to him. Paul said he was blown away. Thank you Paul for the great story and TH
