FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) – David Gregg doesn’t hesitate to name the most patriotic man he knows – his father, Clyde Gregg.
Clyde Gregg, now 85, served in the military as a combat engineer stationed in Germany during the Korean War, and for 42 years as a minister and missionary.
Of all the firsts he has experienced, voting in the Aug. 15 U.S. Senate race was one of the most memorable, Clyde Gregg said.
Tuesday’s primary marked his first time to ever vote.
“I know it’s sort of shocking when people hear I’ve never voted, mainly because I’m so patriotic,” he said. “I never liked politics to start with, but I love my country and I don’t like what it’s becoming.”
