Arvin lives in Austin Texas. Having served the US Army in the Pacific during WWII, he is both the oldest living US Combat Veteran and oldest living male in the United States. (via i.redd.it)
Speaking of veterans, Chip mentioned Aridog the other day and that prompted me to look up the date of his passing. It was June 13, 2016 so we're coming up on two years.
In the obit I found, it noted that the plan was to eventually have him interred at Arlington National Cemetery. A look at the Arlington listings indicates that that hasn't happened and I was wondering if anyone had any further information.
I think that Spinelli had a connection with the family.
This feels a bit nosy and I am a little hesitant to pry beyond asking for an update.

He looks pretty good.

God bless my combat brother.
Loved Aridog. RIP wherever you are but hope you make it to Arlington. I remember him saying that was the plan.
