Halos Heaven

Angels Honor WWII Vets

James Cuzzolina II (aka Pop Pop) threw out the first pitch on Saturday Night in honor of World War II veterans.

Our poster TheLastDon here on Halos Heaven is his grandson. Jeff Mathis was reportedly impressed with Pop Pop's knee-bending slider.

Pop Pop

Thank you for your service!

The Greatest Generation.

Without them, I hesitate to think of where our world would be…

There is really no overstating this
It should be overstated...

?

I’m agreeing with Slasher wholeheartedly

I am agreeing as well
I think pop pop's ERA would be better if Wilson caught his pitch
make that the Pacific
I am currently reading the book...

…just reading about their exploits – like this guy – helps me realize how incredibly fortunate I have been in so many ways.

Pop Pop is a true American hero.

One of my fears for this country is that the contributions made by that generation will be forgotten as each member passes away.

I was at that game

and the moment moved me to tears. Thank you, Mr. Cuzzolina. We wouldnt be here without you.

Thank you, Pop Pop!

We must never forget.
