A story of insteresting proportions

My angle to telling the story of World War Two is as follows:

I propose that the team tells the story of Harry Lee Watts, retired lieutenant colonel. He first enlisted in the army at age 17 or 18 during World War Two. He was stationed in the Pacific and saw combat. From WW 2 he has stories as well as some memorabilia. He would have had more but....well, he should tell you anyway. 

He was very young when he fought so his stories would relate to younger people. He also has, perhaps, a rather unique point of view because of his continued service in the army after the war. By the time he retired, he had served in the Korean and Vietnam wars and had earned his aforementioned rank.
