WWII Vet Norwood Thomas Reunites With Wartime Love After 70 Years
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/world-war-ii-veteran-wartime-girlfriend-reunite-after-70-years-n516341An American World War II veteran and his wartime girlfriend will spend this Valentine's Day together following an emotional reunion after more than 70 years apart.
Norwood Thomas, 93, laughed Wednesday as he met and hugged Joyce Morris, 88, for the first time since 1945.
"This is about the most wonderful thing that could have happened," said the former U.S. paratrooper, who flew 9,000 miles to Australia to see his long-lost sweetheart after they reconnected via Skype.
Norwood, from Virginia Beach, was 21 when he met a then-17-year-old Morris in London shortly before the 1944 invasion of Normandy.
