Today's cover story on the late Bob Coates represents a miraculous journey of survival behind enemy lines during World War II and a one-in-a-million chance encounter with his brother soon after his rescue. Bob's funeral is today. The WWII generation is quickly passing, as only 325,000 of the 16 million who served are alive today. So, if you know a WWII vet, be sure to thank them for their service to our country. You’ll be glad you did.
