U.S. Transportation Command hosted two very special guests June 12, David D. Schaper and John Werner, residents of Briarchrest Estates, a retirement community in Ballwin, Missouri.
Both men are U.S. Army veterans. Schaper was a WWII B24 gunner and Werner an infantryman during the Korean War.
Both saw extensive combat and shared their experiences with a rapt TRANSCOM crowd, Werner opened up with stories fellow vet Schaper had never heard. “He never told me any of that,” Schaper said.
Reflecting on his no-nonsense approach to military service, Werner left the audience with a bit of advice. “Think before you talk,” he said. “Bite your tongue if you have to.”
The pair thanked the audience for allowing them to share their stories, and for their service.
