Veterans Day: The Last Watch - Dick Grantham’s Final Story
Happy Veterans Day!Met Richard “Dick” Grantham in 2021 when I hosted a Veterans dinner at the Elks. He stood up, shared his WWII story, and left the whole room in awe. He served in the Navy, survived some of the fiercest battles in the Pacific, and was awarded a Purple Heart after a kamikaze strike hit his ship.Nearly a year later, his daughter reached out. Dick was home, frail, and in hospice care, but wanted to sit down with me and tell his story in full. I spent over an hour with him at his kitchen table. His voice was weak, but his memory was sharp. We talked, we laughed, we cried.A few hours after I left, I got a text:“My dad went to heaven to be with my mom. He loved you.”I’ll never forget it. On his final day, he chose to share that time with me, and I’m forever honored.Today on Up+Adam, I’m sharing that interview again with new reflections so his story, his bravery, and his voice can continue to be heard.********Listen to Up+Adam with Adam Montiel:* Official Website: adammontiel.com* Apple Podcasts: Up+Adam on Apple Podcasts* Spotify: Up+Adam on Spotify* iHeartRadio: Up+Adam on iHeartRadio* YouTube Music: Up+Adam on YouTube Music********CHECK OUT OUR WOODS HUMANE PET OF THE WEEK!
