Lowe recently visited Washington, D.C., as part of an Honor Flight trip. He was accompanied by his son, Jim.
“It’s really great to be here, and be here with my son, and see the memorials,” he told Rare. “Finally we got some credit for what we had done.”
Lowe was brought to tears while reflecting on his own service at the World War II memorial in a heartwarming moment.
