A war II veteran K.T. Robbins reunited with the love of his life after 75 years. I’m sobbing!
Robbins, 97, was 24 when he met Jeannine Pierson in 1944. The 92-year-old lady was 18 back then. The war only made their love stronger. Robbins was stationed in Jeanine’s hometown, Briey, a town in the north-east of France. He met the lady through her mother who washed his dirty clothes.
Two months after falling in love with each other, Robbins was sent to fight the Axis Powers at the Easter front.
He had to leave the love of his life. His heart was sad and filled with promises.
“I told her maybe I’ll come back and take you, but it did not happen like that,” the war veteran said in his interview with a French television channel France 2.
Jeanine’s heart broke. “When he left in the truck I cried, of course, I was very sad,” she said. “I wish, after the war, he hadn’t returned to America.”
