SALEM, Va. – Wednesday was Veterans Day, the day we as a nation give thanks to those who serve. In Salem, there’s one World War II veteran still spending his days on his front porch overlooking the mountain views. Bob Craighead joined the Marines at just 16 years old, and on this Veterans Day in 2020, decades later, he hasn’t forgotten.
