Summary? This article basically tells a little bit about Elmer Everett HIll of Henderson. He was drafted into the US Navy when he was 35 and served until 1945. Last year, he was honored by  East Texas Residents when the City Of Henderson named a day after him.

Affects me? This makes me think about how it would feel to be this man. Before he died, he didn’t have any other veterans from WWII to talk to. Also, he probably doesn’t have much of his family left. He probably felt lonely before he did.

Affect the world? Dying is part of history. It’s eventually going to happen to everybody. Some old, some young, and he just happened to be old. Now there is no one left to tell about what the war was like. HIstory researchers now have no one else to get information from.
