One of the world’s oldest Marines is still faithfully looking out for his fellow devil dogs.
Roy Drinkard, a 95-year-old World War II veteran, paid to install bulletproof glass at the Cullman, Ala. military recruiting center in the wake of the July attack on a recruiting station in Chattanooga, Tenn., that targeted military personnel.
The Marine vet said he hopes it prevents another tragedy like that which occurred July 16, when gunman Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez opened fire on an armed forces recruiting center, wounding one Marine, before assaulting a Navy reserve installation across town, where he killed four Marines and a sailor.
