PUEBLO, Colo. — An anonymous donor wants to help a World War II paratrooper dying of cancer spend his last days with his wife in a Colorado nursing home that is not approved by the Veterans Administration.
Elmer Melchi, 92, who jumped into Normandy on D-Day and later was captured by the Germans in the Netherlands, is in hospice care, while his wife, June Melchi, who has had dementia for several years, is at a nursing home in the city of Pueblo that is not sanctioned by the VA.
