100-year-old veteran's quest for a Home Front Heroes Day is on its way to Congress

And today Congressman Colin Allred showed up, a bi-partisan resolution in hand, expressing support for designating May 9th as 'Home Front Heroes Day' on a national level.  Allred introduced the resolution along with Rep. Jake Ellzey, a Republican from Texas' 6th district.

Allred also praised Luckadoo for his recent biography in print called "Damn Lucky." And for the fact that Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks are working on a Bloody 100th documentary.

"You know, that's something," Allred said in his remarks to Luckadoo and the crowd assembled in the auditorium. "But creating a national holiday, that's also something. What a life! What an incredible life of service you've led Major!"
