SUMMARY:8.14.25 - Eugene "Gene" Khorey - WWII Veteran - U.S. Army\, 86th Infantry Division
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a remarkable opportunity as 99-year-old World War II veteran Eugene “Gene” Khorey will share his first-hand experience from the battlefield. Gene is one of the last living members of the Greatest Generation right here in Grand Rapids. He will share personal insight into pivotal moments of WWII—from combat in France to the post-war aftermath in the Pacific. \nHis reflections on humanity\, conflict\, and reconciliation resonate deeply in today’s world. \nGene will be joined by Joel Westphal\, Deputy Director of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum\, for a special discussion-format program exploring history\, service\, and the personal cost of war. \nA Glimpse into Gene’s Story\n• Drafted at just 18\, Gene first set foot overseas in January 1945\, landing in France as part of the U.S. Army’s 86th Infantry Division \n• Over a grueling span of 70 days in combat\, he witnessed the devastation of war—“buildings destroyed\, huddling with fellow soldiers for warmth\, often hungry and freezing” \n• Reflecting on his combat experience\, Gene shared: “War is hell and I hope in the world that we never get into another war” \n• After Victory in Europe\, he continued service in the Philippines\, assisting with the surrender of Japanese forces before returning home to a hero’s welcome in New York \n• Post-war\, Gene built a distinguished career in education—teacher\, principal\, then superintendent—playing a meaningful role in school integration and community leadership \n• He credits his wartime experience with shaping his philosophy of empathy: “Why do we keep killing each other? You’re just like me… We’re dealing with human beings.” \n
