WW2 Vet Dies at the Age of 104 Alexis Williams

        William Kehoe fought in the Second World War and died Friday at the age of 104. He kept doing military work after the war until he retired in 1945. Many people have called him an "all around inspiration". People who met him and talked to him knew him as a strong working man. Even at his age he was sociable and loved to talk to anyone.
        Analysis: I think it's inspiring that this man is so strong and independent and so positive at his age of 104. This connects to the 2nd world war. America became involved in this war in 1941 after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. This was also the war where Harry Truman issued dropping the 2 atomic bombs in Japan which resulted in us winning the war.
