Stan White
94 years old from Albuquerque, New Mexico
Albuquerque veteran Stan E. White, a Pearl Harbor survivor who was
injured during the D-Day invasion of Normandy, was awarded the Legion
of Honor, France's highest decoration, according to Perry Bendicksen,
Honorary French Consul for New Mexico.
Although he was raised in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, White was a
19-year-old athlete and cowboy living in New Mexico when he enlisted
in the Army. He said he saw it as an opportunity for travel, adventure
and education. He ended up with a life he never could have
predicted.
