Honoring our Veterans Home Instead's Commitment to Col. Bud Anderson in Auburn, CA

Our team at Home Instead is honored to serve a remarkable veteran, Col Clarence "Bud" Anderson Ret. As we delve into the extraordinary tapestry of Bud's life, we find ourselves both humbled to serve and support this kind and wonderful man.

Col. Bud Anderson, a triple Ace in Europe during WW2, volunteered for the Army Air Corps, showcasing immense bravery in the face of adversity. Approaching the impressive age of 102, Col. Anderson stands as one of only 14 living U.S. aces, holding the title of the highest-scoring living U.S. fighter pilot from World War II. His legacy of flying in 116 combat missions, where he shot down 16 enemy aircraft in the iconic P-51 Mustang, "Old Crow," speaks volumes about his courage and dedication.

Decorated 25 times throughout his 30-year military career, which included combat in Vietnam, Col. Anderson commanded the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing. Bud's presence adds a touch of historical significance to the community, and Home Instead is honored to provide the best home care in Auburn, CA to this living legend.
