An 83-year-old veteran kept a promise that he made to his fellow Marine during the Vietnam War.
Master Sgt. William Cox, 83, told his buddy First Sgt. James T. Hollingsworth, while under attack in Vietnam on New Year’s Eve in 1968, that if they survived the war they would contact each other every New Year’s Eve for the rest of their lives, Greenville News reports.
Both survived the attack and the war, and have kept their promise to each other for nearly 50 years.
The two men met on their journey to Vietnam in 1968. Hollingsworth moved to Georgia after his tour of service while Cox embarked on a 20-year career in the Marines and received a Distinguished Flying Cross in honor of his service.
Despite their different paths in life, both managed to keep their promises to each other.
