#199: 100 Yr Old James Megellas. The Most Decorated Officer in the 82nd Airborne

You never know who you are going to meet in Branson.  This week, I met James Megellas.  Preparing for his 100th birthday, James was an amazing person to sit down with.  Just a few things I learned about Mr Megellas:

-He is the most decorated officer in the 82nd Airborne

-Recently had a post office renamed in his honor

-Published his book “All The Way to Berlin” in his 80s

-Was honored in Holland for his role in a liberation campaign in World War II

-In his 90s, gave out 5,000 books to troops in Afghanistan

-He still has a lot more to accomplish

Our interview was short, impromptu, and conducted on The Showboat Branson Belle. His book is a top seller on Amazon and can be found at: http://a.co/gl9e1Yd

James visits Branson every year, I can’t wait to talk with him again next year!
