The 98-year-old was at the Highmark Stadium to watch his favourite NFL club play live for the first time. The Buffalo Niagara Honour Flight honoured him. He served with Carlson’s Raiders special operation unit in the Marine Corp. during World War II.
“I was speechless when I heard it. I was there when the entire screen popped up,” when asked by an NBC News host how it felt to be honoured at the Highmark, Gosh responded.
Bill Gosh- Who Is He?
In 1942, Bill Gosh enlisted in the Marine Corps and served abroad, primarily in Asia. His daughter Suzzane claimed that the heartfelt tribute to his service nearly brought her father to tears.
She gave NBC News an exclusive interview, saying, “It gives me great satisfaction to think that this man my father accomplished what he did but also he was with a bunch of men that battled for our nation.”
The Buffalo Niagara Honour Flight took the initiative to send Bill, 98, to his first-ever Buffalo Bills game. It was at the Highmark after learning about Bill Gosh’s service.
A Grand Welcome For The World War II Veteran
Together, they welcomed Bill Gosh and paid tribute to him for his efforts in World War II to defend the American people. They were joined by the Buffalo Bills in their effort.
As the cavalcade of the Niagara Honour Flight led him to the stadium, he was greeted with a hero’s welcome by his neighbours. Gosh, who was visibly upset, told NBC News as he got into the limousine to go to the Highmark, “I can’t believe all of this for me.”
