The low-key hero
Christopher Spagnola doesn't talk much about his service during World War II.
Spagnola, 89, was awarded a number of medals while flying a bomber over Germany, including the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal. When his nephew wanted to frame them, Spagnola had to dig them out of the attic.
When he moved to a new home years ago, he got rid of his leather bomber jacket. Spagnola doesn't even know where his uniform is, though he said he can probably still fit into it.
