WWII veteran’s story told over three miniature documentaries
Clark County Today had the immense privilege in 2019 of speaking with a man who was there for the D-Day Invasion of WWII.
This is his story.
Joseph Meiners was 95 when we interviewed him about his experiences in the second world war. He made it to 96, before passing away in December 2019. He loved his friends, his family and his God.
Today, on Veteran’s Day, we present again this three-part micro-documentary on the war-time experiences and life of Joe Meiners. Thank you for watching.
