I've seen this guy before ... he's quite a storyteller. He tells about visiting his wounded buddies in a church while the battle was still underway. He asked if he could do anything for them and they said they were thirsty for a drink. He found an abandoned pub nearby with a beer tap that was still working. Lacking anything to carry the beer in he used his helmet and transported it back to his wounded buddies. Apparently he made a couple of trips before a medic caught on and stopped him. Unbeknownst to him this became legend in Bastogne, another war story, which he was oblivious to until he visited Bastogne 50+ years later. Happenstance played a role and he heard the story and identified himself as the beer guy. Word got around quickly and he became a minor celebrity ...
