70 years after Pearl Harbor, he's still fighting

Alvin "Bud" Christopherson, 86, last week was back in the town where he spent much of his youth.

Bud came to Havre from his home in Salem, Ore. to attend his younger brother's funeral.

Hank Christopherson, 85, died Oct. 22, marking the passing of another from the Greatest Generation that won World War II for the United States and for civilization.

The Christophersons were born and raised in Montana, following their father, who work for the Burlington Northern Railway, up and down the Hi-Line.
