Alabama family discovers stranger has been visiting fallen Vietnam soldier's grave for years

A Foley, Alabama family made an unexpected discovery when they learned that a man named Richard Daseke had been regularly visiting the grave of their brother, Louis Jones, who died in Vietnam 57 years ago. Mable Rorie, Jones's older sister, occasionally visits her brother's cemetery plot in their hometown, but had no idea about Daseke's quiet tributes until the two connected recently. The chance encounter has given the Jones family new insight into how their fallen loved one's memory has touched the lives of strangers in the community. According to WKRG News 5, the meeting has sparked questions about what drew Daseke to honor Jones's memory and has deepened the family's understanding of their brother's legacy decades after his death in the Vietnam War.
