70 years ago, Pearson Moss served in both the European and Pacific theaters of World War II, in the North Sea and then building airstrips in Guadalcanal.
Seven decades later, Pearson’s son Randy, and Randy’s wife Barbara, were sitting on Pearson’s hospital room at Oklahoma City’s VA Hospital, cheering up the veteran as he recovers from a back injury. Little did they know that an unexpected surprise was just moments away from walking through the door.
On Veteran’s Day, Russell Westbrook, Enes Kanter, Mitch McGary and Josh Huestis all stopped by the VA Hospital, to take photos, sign autographs and most importantly dole out messages of support and gratitude.
