Honoring Gator War Heroes
This weekend, we pause to recognize those who have served our great country through various Veteran's Day remembrances and celebrations. Whether you plan to participate in a parade or quietly reflect on the service of the brave men and women who so valiantly have fought for our freedom, please take some time to privately or publicly thank a solder (or two, or three or 100)!
In honor of Veteran's Day, I have put together a special Tribute to Veterans program, which will air tonight on the Old School Gator Radio Series with Roger Franklin Williams from 8 - 9 p.m. EST on 540 WFLA-AM, the Gator Nation Station.
The program's featured guest will be esteemed Orlando attorney Tom Tart, a Gator football letterman from the Silver Sixties era and an expert on World War II era history. The program will also highlight the service and wartime stories of UF football players who served heroically during World War II, including E Fergie Ferguson, an outstanding two-way end from Stuart, who suffered fatal wounds in combat during the D-Day invasion. The program will also feature All-SEC RB Walter "Tiger" Mayberry of Daytona Beach, who served as a decorated combat aviator and was shot down and killed in a Japanese POW camp, as well as General James Van Fleet, a highly successfull coach of the 1920s era who was a highly decorated General during World War II and the Korean Conflict as well as other Gator War Heroes.
