Interesting tib bit: He was the battalion intelligence officer even though he only had an eight grade education. Today it takes a college degree to even be considered for officer rank, but I bet he was a better S-2 and a better officer than four-fifths of the current West Pointers.
So what was the problem that it took this long.
A true American hero.
