Columbus, OH – The state paid tribute to military service members this Veteran's Day in numerous ways from ceremonies and lights to special promotions for those who served. But one central Ohio teenager strives to keep the lives of veterans in the conversation everyday. 18-year-old Kyle Nappi of Ostrander began collecting autographs and stories from veterans in 2001. He now has nearly 2,000 signatures and anecdotes from U.S. veterans of World War I through the Iraq war - and soldiers of other countries. Nappi tells Mike Foley his passion for veterans began after watching a movie about Pearl Harbor.
