My Grandpa was in that battle. He served under Colonel Moore and is good friends with Sergeant-Major Plumley. Matter of fact, they meet on Fridays and have breakfast at McDonald’s together with a few other guys from the 1st Cav. I’d love to sit in on their conversations and listen to their stories although, according to my Grandpa, they don’t talk too much about the war (understandably). Guess I just like the thought of sitting in the presence of men who have accomplished great things...

Being in their presence would be an honor.

You have no idea of how blessed and priviledged you are!

When I was a kid, I used to sit at the Legion Hall in Wonewoc, WI and listen to my late Grandpa and his friends from WWI talk about their days. And listen to my late Dad and his friends talk about the second war!
