96-year-old Harold Radish of Queens, NY appears on episode #664 of Hometown Heroes, airing January 23-25, 2021. A native of Brooklyn, NY, Radish served with the 90th Infantry Division during World War II.

Among the memories you’ll hear this ex-prisoner of war share are the emotional reunion he experienced with his mother upon returning from Europe in 1945, as well as an unexpected recent reunion with an item he hadn’t even realized he had lost. The son of Jewish immigrants from Poland, Radish explains how his parents met each other in the United States, and the role a “lucky” penny played in that fateful connection.
