Marine Staff Sargent Mark Graunke Jr.
and Houston James, Pearl Harbor Survivor
Pearl Harbor survivor Houston James of Dallas embraced Marine Staff Sgt. Mark Graunke Jr. during a Veterans Day commemoration in Dallas. Graunke lost a hand, a leg and an
eye when he defused a bomb in Iraq last year. The week's images of U.S. troops in combat in Fallujah deepened the day's significance for many who attended tributes held in
San Diego and across the nation.
