A pair of World War II veterans shared their stories with the students of Olentangy Liberty High School (OLHS) today. First Sergeants Dick Swisher and Bob Hershey told what it was like to go from the life of an average teenager to being a soldier on the front lines of combat. Hershey’s daughter, Bobbi Richards, also spoke to the group. She is on the board of directors for Honor Flight Columbus, a charity that helps aging World War II veterans take a trip to Washington, D.C. to see the memorial that honors their service. The OLHS DECA club is an active supporter of Honor Flight Columbus. The students raised approximately $10,000 for the charity last year and hope to do the same again this year.
