Veteran piece

Art Peterson is a World War two veteran who served in the 101st airborne. He jumped into France on D-Day, and took place in the invasion and the different operations from there. He then found himself at Bastogne in the Arden forest during the battle of the Bulge where he encountered extreme weather and fighting.

I think Mr. Peterson would be a good person to interview because he has been to our school before and is very clear and articulate. He would also have some veryinteresting stories to tell. He is Hispanic so that is also unique and that could be a topic in itself. Since he went through so much in World War two we could choose from a huge variety of topics.

Ifvmy memory serves me correctly I believe he has a purple heart and a distinguished service cross. So that could also be interesting to look at.
