 World War II vet, had a gold tooth because of a bayonet that was shoved in his mouth. I'd love to tell you a better story than this. It was in a bar fight with some French soldiers. But he was part of the invasion into Italy. In my 92, 94, I can't remember what year this happened in his life. He had been a Democrat his whole life. Tom Coburn was the first Republican he ever voted for.
