John Atkinson, a 98-year-old World War II veteran, tragically died while making his way to a dawn service in South Australia. The beloved veteran, who had proudly served as a transport driver with the RAAF during the Pacific campaign, was looking forward to participating in the service and leading the local march. Unfortunately, he passed away at the scene after suffering a fall from his gopher.
The New York Mets are having a little fun with their $1 hot dog night promotion, featuring a special guest appearance from none other than Seymour Weiner. Weiner, a World War II veteran, was honored as the Mets’ Veteran of the Game earlier this season, and his name quickly became a fan favorite on social media. Now, the Mets are using Weiner’s likeness to promote their upcoming $1 hot dog night, and fans are loving it.
