A familiar face was missing from The American Legion Baseball World Series press box in Shelby, N.C., last August. And, even more so, a familiar voice.

“At (the National Commander’s Reception), I had so many people come over and say how happy they were to see me back,” Jonckowski said. “That’s really been a heartwarming experience so far. It’s made a difference.” read full story here
