in history and was honored to meet the oldest living Congressional Medal
of Honor winner from any war and the last surviving Medal of Honor winner
from December 7, 1941. His name? Lt. John Finn. He is 95 years young,
lives by himself in his ramshackle of a desert home in the eastern California
desert among native Indians he and his wife loved so dearly.
