America lost one of the great orators of all time today. RIP...
i listened maybe about 20 minutes in my whole life. But he was a great story teller and an original. RIP Paul.I was never into him; maybe listened to him for a grand total of 2 minutes in my life. But, he certainly was an American icon. For that I salute him. RIP.
Does it really matter? It was over sixty years ago.Yep. Now ask why Paul "Harvey" got discharged as a pilot from the Army Air Corps DURING WW II.
The word is that's why he changed his name.
Yes, exactly.A treasure, lost.
To some it really does. I recall a lot WW2 guys at my VFW post really not speaking well of Paul Harvey.Does it really matter? It was over sixty years ago.

I have heard several too. I try not to waste brain cells on it.But I'm totally unsure what the real story was!I've heard at least three different discharge stories: medical (cut foot during training), section 8 (stole a plane), and honorable. To me it doesn't matter much. But if they're castigating him because they believe the wrong one, then I have a problem with it.

Better yet, let's not pursue it. Let him rest in peace. Sorry I resurrected it.Start a new thread if you want to pursue this.
