Default Vietnam Vet's Dying Wish Granted

This story will choke you up.....

http://www.news9.com/story/19390480/...g-wish-granted


63-year-old Dennis Hall has an inoperable brain tumor doctors say will kill him in less than a year. Three weeks ago, we told you Dennis' final request was to visit the National Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in Washington D.C. *Since our initial story aired, donations from all across the Country have poured into the Hall's home in tiny Bridgeport.

Monday evening, Hall, his wife, his daughter and his granddaughter all flew to Washington D.C. They will get personal tours of "The Wall," and the Capital building.

Hall's daughter Amanda says her father is very thankful. "He feels better. I don't know if it's the adrenaline, if it's the support from everybody. I don't know," she said.
