99-year-old WWII, Korea and Vietnam veteran (and Waco native) Ira Walton passed away Thursday, February 24, 2022. In this brief interview, Walton discusses his memory of meeting Waco congressman William Poage at the close of WWII. This 2 minute featurette was culled from a 30-minute interview where Walton discussed his 30 years of service and life in Waco before and after his service.
