May our comrade-in-arms REST IN ETERNAL PEACE.
I was once a member of 29TH DIVISION HQ of the VAARNG in the late 1970S & met a LOT of the ORIGINAL 29ERS..
2 SHOOTING & 9 LOOTING, 29 LET’S GO!!!

.a true piece of American History has passed away....
We should all be grateful to this man as well as the others who paid the price for freedom. It is sad looking at what our nation has become and to even have a passing thought that our soldiers have fought . . .some died in vain. I am so glad that my mother and father, both WWII Veterans, are not alive to witness the current ongoing unpatriotic mayhem as well as blasphemous rhetoric toward our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God will not be mocked. Our nation was birthed to evangelize the world. . .perhaps we are witnessing its final hour as a Republic. https://www.patburt.com/
Touching.
“ Well done, God rest.”
Read last night that less than 2 percent of WW-II veterans are still alive... about 300,000 out of 16,000,000.
I’d say erect a statue of him, but the losers of Amerika would probably tear it down, and be applauded for it.
SRManuel,
Thank you for posting about this brave veteran’s passing. He was a member of Company A, 116th Inf, 29th Inf Div’s that was in the initial wave of the D-Day invasion on Omaha Beach. He was a survivor of the ill-fated Company A, often referred to as “The Bedford Boys.” 19 members of Company A died that morning and nearly all of them from the small town of Bedford, VA, as they were in a National Guard unit.
Bttt.
