Veteran: Trip brings closure for soldier
Continued..........
    
              
     "Its very important for every veteran to realize that what he did serving his country had a positive effect on the quality of life of those he fought for," Greg Lesko said. "Its my feeling that the last two years have been the most important ones in my father's life. He now has living proof that somebody a continent away said "thank you" to those who came and fought and sacrificed.
    For George Lesko, the events of World War II and last summer have clarified what matters most in life.
    "Everything that has happened has made me believe in the Almighty and that life is very precious." he said. " I have looked at life differently since this event. I feel like I could conquer the world right now."
