I did not know that, thanks for sharing that. We lost Dick Winters last year and Shifty Powers right before that. It is so sad to see men of this calibre pass away and they are mentioned in the news after Lady Gaga and Lindsey Lohan...I wish people would realize the sacrifices some people make! But I guess that is just the way it will always be. You know when I was making my way to Afghanistan I stopped in a Kyrgistan to catch my next plane. Needless to say it was -26 degreees and it was snowing like mad so I got stuck there for a couple days. Well I picked a bunk inside one of the transit tents and waited for my plane. Well one day some Army guys came in and one of the guys names was "Guarnere" and I asked him how he pronounced his last name and he said "its me" lol it was Wild bills Grandson! We talked for abour 2 hours about his grandfather and the one thing he kept saying was that he was the most hilarious man you would ever meet and he never took credit for anything he did during the war... He would always say someone else deserved the credit... They dont make people like that anymore....
