PICTURE OF DYING WORLD WAR TWO VET CASTING BALLOT DRAWS ONLINE ATTENTION

A photo showing a dying, 93-year-old World War Two veteran casting his election ballot has drawn online attention and praise after being posted on the social networking site Reddit last week by his grandson. The photo shows Frank Tanabe lying in a hospital bed while in home hospice care, as his daughter, Barbara Tanabe, helps him fill out an absentee ballot.

Tanabe, who was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer two months ago, has been determined to vote, repeatedly asking when the ballot would be arriving in the mail, according to his daughter. He filled it out immediately once it came last Wednesday, and since he's no longer really able to speak, Barbara read aloud the names of the candidates and he either nodded "yes" to the names or shook his head "no." Tanabe's daughter said her father had kept up on the issues, reading newspapers regularly until only recently.

During World War Two, Tanabe volunteered to join the Army while at an internment camp for Japanese-Americans that he was pulled out of college to be sent to. He was assigned to the Military Intelligence Service.

I would love to know who he cast his vote for in the presidential race!
