Verdi Gilbertson

Gilbertson trained in Kentucky, North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma and New York before being sent overseas as an infantryman.

“We backpacked across France and Germany,” he said.

While a few of their war stories were shared on the Honor Flight journey, Gilbertson said they don’t talk about them much at home.

“Nobody believes them anymore anyway,” he said with a laugh.
