Paul Grassey, a 97-year-old author and former B-24 pilot, is a volunteer docent with The National Museum of the Mighty 8th Air Force in Pooler. He will sing the national anthem at Paulson before kickoff. Grassey flew 13 combat missions for the 446th Bombardment Group, 8th Air Force, over Europe. He chronicled his experiences in the book “It’s Character that Counts.”
As part of their ongoing support for Georgia Southern athletics and in the spirit of patriotism, Optim Orthopedics and Nine Line Apparel have a special tribute to America planned for Saturday’s home football game against Florida Atlantic University.
