Kaufman, who had brought along black and white photos and news clipping of the buddies he served with from back in the day.
"During the war, we took supplies and took them up to the front lines," said Kaufman. "I had some friends that I wish were with me."
When we got to the memorial site they men stood arms around each other and mouths open in awe.
"Unbelievable. We're so happy," said one of them.
"Great, really great." explained Kaufman. "Bigger than I thought it was."
Joe took his pictures out again and took time to honor his fallen friends, but the ones he was there with agreed the trip was more fun because they were together.
