My neighbor Ace at 92: Decorated vet, living legend
Ace is a neighborhood legend -- with one arm, four purple hearts, and more than a dozen antique cars, he's hard to miss. Nearly every weekend, Ace drives one of his old cars up Connecticut Ave to pick up his favorite meal at McDonalds. On a nice day, you can catch him outside holding court near while one of the cars is lucky enough to soak up some vitamin D. I caught up with Ace this past weekend, just following his McDonalds trip and a few days before Veterans Day. Here's a brief clip of him summing up a remarkable military career and his passion for old cars. He'll be laying a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Solider today and driving an old military jeep in the Veteran's Day Parade. I could talk to Ace for hours. After a very full life, he has some of the best stories in the word.
