SINTON, TEXAS â A San Patricio County veteran received an early Christmas gift Tuesday; the gift of mobility.
Like so many aging veterans, 86-year-old Leonard Cantu is starting to have trouble moving around. He wonât however, have trouble getting in and out of his house thanks to a family friend and a group devoted to helping others.
Cantu enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1957 and trained at Ft. Benning and Ft. Campbell before serving as a paratrooper until 1959.
âI have 15 jumps, five night jumps and I was a sharpshooter on the rifle team,â said Cantu.
