“For decades, Mr. Luckadoo rarely spoke about his time in the war, especially in public.” ….”His wife told him he had a duty to talk about the horrors of war”
Mr. Luckadoo framed his talks around the sheer terror that comes with knowing that making it through combat is often as much a matter of luck as it is training or courage. “I’m not a hero,” he liked to say. “I’m a survivor.”
