WWII veteran Lewis "Pat" Patteson
Lewis "Pat" Patteson, still spry at 102 when I met him earlier this year, is a decorated Naval lieutenant from WWII. He flew patrol bombers in the Aleutian islands, a lesser-known front against the Japanese, who held some of the islands during the war. Here he reminisced about his wartime experiences at his home in Danville, California.
