My husband Master Sergeant Grady Littles, joined the army in 1947. First served in Korea in 1948. He was wounded in Vietnam. Grady served for 30 years and although , being black, he could not eat, sleep, or even ride the train with whites, he, as stated in a Ledger article June 12,2011 that "He Had no Regrets" Grady went to his finally resting place on July 25, 2011. I am so thankful that he was able to tell his story before passing. Shared by: Florence M Littles
