Hand Salute, SSG Guarnere!
You can now join your buddies Joey Toye and Babe Heflin...
Great series. Read the book by Stephen Ambrose before watching the series. Both great.
Rest easy, Wild Bill. Others have taken over the watch.
Rest in Peace, American hero.....
I was privileged to have spent a rowdy and wonderful evening with ‘Wild Bill’ at the WWII Veterans Center conference in Washington DC almost ten years ago, (well at that, and the after-party!) We talked about girls and brought each other drinks, and talked about politics, towns in the Eastern Seaboard, rifles, and girls. It was my first ‘date’ with a girl I later married, too, and she wondered why I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek as the night waned and folks started to go home... He was sharp as a razor, funny, and had a sort of dry, sarcastic sense of humor in that amazing Philadelphia accent.
God bless him - I was only watching Band of Brothers for the umpteenth time last night. Sleep easy in God’s loving care!
