Sixty years ago, a Marine risked his life by throwing his body on a grenade. Today, he’s the Grand Marshal of UF’s Homecoming Parade. Cpl. Duane Dewey, an 81-year-old Medal of Honor recipient, will lead the parade in a Marine Jeep. Following him were other veterans and two members of the Department of Defense’s 60th Anniversary of the Korean War Commemoration Committee. From: The Independent Florida Alligator.
