Daughter helps WWII vet visit beach one last time before passing away
Joseph Eagers Jr. served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam
By Peter Aitken | Fox News

 

The daughter of a veteran from three wars was able to provide him with one last visit home before he passed away at the age of 95.

Joseph Eagers Jr. served as an infantry combatant in World War II and Korea, then as a senior staff engineer in Vietnam in the 60s.

Having spent the last few months living in hospice, Eagers knew his days were limited. Before he died, he had one last wish: He wanted to visit the beach where he spent so much time with his family at Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.
