No better example of core American decency and courage.

Enlisted at 22 and was a Master Sergeant in three years.

Even allowing for it being wartime, this guy was exceptional. I wonder what else he accomplished in those three years.

What a brave and courageous man. A very inspiring story.

back then we raised courageous young men who knew right from wrong, and didn’t count the cost of acting on it. Thank God for this young man.

A similar episode was in Herman Wouk’s Winds of War (the book, not the mini series), only there the hero was the physically timid US Ambassador to Poland, who refused to disclose the religions of his fellow Americans seeking safe conduct out of Poland as Germany invaded. The Jewish American he was protecting was his ex-fiancé.
