A Fallen Hero - Harry W. Smith

In our lives, we get to meet some tremendous people. Those who intrigue me the most have served this great country of ours in the military. Their training, experiences, and stories always captivate me. Those individuals have sacrificed a portion of their life for the greater good of others and they should always be THANKED for their service to protect us. As these individuals grow old, their stories seem to resonate even more. Many become pillars of their communities and the role model for their families. Harry W. Smith was that kind of individual. He was a proud service member and he loved his family and community. He was "Grandpa Walmart". He was one of Walmart's first Walmart greeter and he was the best at it. Everyone in town loved him. His family was large and they had just recently had a family reunion and enjoyed their day together. In this small town, there is a secret that has haunted the community for more than a decade. On Sunday morning, October 16, 2011, most people in town were attending Church services. Unfortunately, Harry had trouble getting around and did not make the trip to Church that day. A few hours later two passers-by notice Harry's house was bellowing smoke out of the windows. They ran in to help put it out, but the flames had already burned themselves out. What they found was the body of a battered old man lying face down on the floor. It was first ruled and accident but later was determined to be a homicide. Mr. Walmart had been murdered and left to burn in a fire that did not catch. Who would do something like this to a great man like Harry W. Smith? Listen as our students tell the story of a FALLEN HERO!
