Photo from 2017 shows 83-year-old retired marine Sgt. William H. Cox standing guard for his buddy, Sgt. James ‘Hollie’ Hollingsworth one last time.
The pair first met while hiding from rockets and mortars in a bunker in 1968.
In the bunker, the two men made a pact. The pact being that if they both survived the war, they would contact one another every year on New Year’s Eve for a chat.
They continued that tradition for the next 5 decades.
My husband just tucked me in, took out my earrings and went back to grab a water to bring to my nightstand…and this is typical nightly behavior… Ladies please don’t settle🤔💕
Seeing progress in reading is always so motivating, and little treats along the way make for more fun! Proud of my kiddos making such big strides! #loveclp#system44@CLP_Elementary
