"Compton had been an All-American catcher on the UCLA baseball team. The distance to the fleeing enemy was about the same as from home plate to second base. Compton threw his grenade on a straight line — no arch — and it hit a German in the head as it exploded." You're OUT!

@
TapsThen shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
RIP, Buck, your rest is well earned.

I just finished reading his book.
Compton was a no-nonsense, dyed in the wool CONSERVATIVE.
Rest in Peace, Lt. Compton.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Rest in peace, Lt. Compton. You have stood tall amongst the greatest generation; you were one of the best of the best. Many there are who would have been proud to accomplish one tenth of what you did in your life.
