95-year-old Delton “Wally” Walling of Valley Springs, CA appears on episode #438 of Hometown Heroes, airing September 23-25, 2016. A native of Belding, MI, Walling found himself looking down at Peal Harbor from a 180-foot perch on an observation tower on December 7, 1941.
Wally shows us the finger that was a casualty of his desire to join the Navy. For more photos, visit the Hometown Heroes facebook page.

I listened to part I, trying to find part II. the link says it has both,
but only part I plays.
Should be fixed now. Thanks for letting us know. This link will also take you right there: http://hometownheroesradio.com/mp3/WALLINGPOD.mp3
Wally,
I just finished listening to both recordings. Thanks for your efforts to REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR, and to try to tell the true story. Admiral Kimmel would certainly applaud that goal I can assure you.
Very Respectfully,
Tom Kimmel (an Admiral Kimmel grandson)
