Today in Normandy, we had the honor of meeting Rondo Scharf, a World War II veteran who bravely served at the young age of 16. Rondo shared his remarkable story of how he falsified his age to join the military and ended up fighting at Iwo Jima. Now, at nearly 97 years old, he reflects on his experiences with gratitude and humility.
Being surrounded by fellow veterans brings back memories for Rondo, reminding him of the unique bond they share. He emphasized the importance of remembering and honoring the sacrifices made by veterans, acknowledging the mix of emotions that come with reminiscing about the past.
