Marcie Dover was 19 years old when he left his home in Alabama for basic training, New Jersey and eventually a ship to Europe in 1944. He hadn’t even had a chance to finish high school before being drafted. Seventy years later, he’s one of a number of World War II veterans who was honored with the Legion of Honor, France’s highest honor, on April 3 by Denis Barbet, the consul general of France in Atlanta.
