WWII veteran Delbert Belton survived being wounded in action during the Battle of Okinawa only to be beaten and left for dead by two teens at the Eagles Lodge in Spokane on Wednesday evening.
Belton, 89, died from the injuries he suffered in the beating Thursday morning at Sacred Heart Medical Center. . .
"Shorty," as he was known by his friends at the Eagles Lodge, served in the U.S. Army in the Pacific during WWII and was shot in the leg during the Battle of Okinawa. He went on to work at Kaiser Aluminum at the company's Trentwood plant for more than 30 years.
He loved playing pool, even though he claimed he was no good at it and had been a member of the Eagles Lodge for the last four months. In addition to playing pool he loved working on cars. . .
Spokane police are looking for two male suspects in the attack. They said the suspects are African Americans between 16 and 19 years old. . .

I am sad that he lived long enough to see the country he fought for go completely down the TOILET.

Street punks, cheap trash, may they rot in hell.
Just read old yeller.
It’s very simple.
I cannot stand this... my father is 89... 90 in October...
Yep
RIP Delbert Belton, American hero.
Well it tells you how tough they are, they thought two feral animals in their prime against a man in his eighties would be tough but something to brag about./disgust font/
Talk about your MegaTrend.
Racism and those who invoke
Do no one a favor these days.
Obama’s kids do it again.
Yep, MN fair time. We go when it opens in the morning to avoid the problems...
The media doesn’t want the masses to know about these things for fear lots of “Zimmermans” are going to start fighting back. And the race hustlers know this, too. That’s why they compare Trayvon Martin to Emmett Till. Kill a black teen in self defense and it’s the same as a lynching. The only reason people are talking about the Oklahoma animals is Ed Hendy asked a question at a press conference.
I look forward when they start reporting more about people defending themselves.
Since no firearms were involved, the story will be buried.
Ya’ know. It may be time to have that conversation with Eric the Holder.
‘Obama’s kids do it again.’ your post..
sad isn’t it, and in 2008 AMERICAN’S thought if they elected a Black American President, he would heal the world of race related incidents???
Didn’t happen and won’t happen until courts wake up and punish properly..until the rule of LAW stands.
an eye for an eye~~~~if you kill you will be killed...NO plea bargaining, no deals..pay the deed...enough of lawyers getting people off...
SAD DAYS IN AMERICA...that’s for sure.
That is precisely what George Zimmerman did...
