A graduate of Meadville High School, Mark Crabb, decided to enlist in the Navy in 1969.

When he arrived in Vietnam, his tour of duty took a dramatic turn. He is the focus tonight of Remembering Our Veterans. 

Instead of being 20 miles away from the action, Crabb was right in the middle of it as a 50 caliber gunner, delivering and protecting troops.

He still has a Life magazine that shows the soldiers who did not make it home.

Crabb is a proud veteran who gets emotional every Veterans Day. He has family members also served and did their job, just like he did 56 years ago.

Mark Crabb, thank you for your service.
