NathanA man was made to have a partner. Hence it is a beautiful experience to meet someone you connect with on a higher level than just friendship goals. Some people meet their soulmates at a very young age just like Leonard and Hazel Cherry. They actually met 70 years ago when they were still in high school. They stayed in adjacent states but it did not stop them from being together and very soon they fell deeply in love
The Very Start
The couple was so in love that it had everyone root for them even at a very early age. They remained inseparable and got married in 1942. They are indeed #couplegoals as they spent every waking hour of most of their 70 years of marriage mostly together. It was clear that Leonard and Hazel were meant to be and that their partnership was something only others could hope for.
Together As One
Since early on in their relationship, the couple did not seek individual success or growth, rather they wanted to tighten their bond between them. They were clear that for their marriage to work, they would need common goals in life. Since they knew that time is limited in life, their priority was to make the most of what they had together as a loving couple.
Then WWII Happened
The cute couple spent majority of their time together and was only ever separated when they had to join in the action of WWII. Leonard joined the Army Air Corps to defend his motherland and now they were not even sure if he would ever return again. Many people had to leave behind their families with no assurance of ever returning and Leonard knew his fate was similar.
Being A Bomber Pilot
Leonard was given the position of a bomber pilot that is clearly a very dangerous job. He was good at it and pretty soon got to train young pilots a well. He knew his country needed him so he did his absolute best to try and serve his nation during the war. Hazel was at home, waiting patiently for her dear husband that was flying all over to defend America, again showing they are literal couple goals yet again.
In The Air Force
Leonard joined the United States Army Air Corps, which was affiliated with the Air Forces until 1947. Later the United States Air Force was established. His station was at the Carswell Army Air Corps Base in Fort Worth during his world war 2 battle. He played the role of an active B-24 Bomber Pilot. Many navy headquarters have now used up this base.
The War Ends
In April 1945, the war ended leaving many soldiers celebrating the fact that they could now return home. However, Leonard had a very different case. Even after winning the war, he had to train pilots to fly a B-29 Bomber to help invade Japan, for the destruction of their war industry. The War was officially over as the leaders had signed the treaties so he did not have to be at the world war 2 location anymore.
