HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - They are the heroes that paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today. For one Huntsville man, these World War 2 service members are more than a name on the wall. They’re part of the greatest generation - a legacy that is still being written today.
“Luther Luke Isom. He was born in Huntsville. He was killed in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He was Madison County’s first casualty of WW2. JD Luna. He was born in Tennessee but his family moved to Huntsville prior to 1940. He volunteered for the parachute infantry and served in the 101st airborne division.
