At last, Ken Mallory would be cheered.
After a lifetime of stoic courage, the 95-year-old World War II veteran would finally be properly thanked for his service.
“He was finally going to get his standing ovation,†said his daughter, Judie Miller.
It was going to happen at Dodger Stadium last Saturday, where Mallory was to be honored as the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Military Hero of the Game.
