Morley Piper
World War II army veteran, was among the first-wave of troops storming the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Then 19, Morley led a squad of young American soldiers throughout the historic battle. Now 92, the long-revered executive director of New England Newspaper Publishers Association has for the past 20 years actively "clerked" Newspaper Association Managers, Inc. (NAM) of North America.
An authentic example of our "Greatest Generation," Morley attended D-Day's 70th Anniversary commemoration in France 2014 with President Obama and fellow veterans of the historic battle. Soon after returning and sharing his story with his fellow "NAMers," he has reluctantly been accepting invitations nationwide to share his powerful reflections at various press association gatherings.
