Memory Eternal to a brave and honorable man. When heros like Colonel Mitchell die our nation suffers a great loss. Alas, the whore media will probably not even mention his passing.

I had the honor of chauffeuring home one Colonel George Russell Barber, USAF (Ret.) last week.
He was (back then) an Army chaplin in WWII, and is now the last living chaplain to have landed with our men on Omaha Beach, 6-6-44.
It was all I could do to keep my attention on the road rather than turn right towards him as he was describing the carnage of that day.
But such men do not warrant attention these days, you are right. Instead, we are force-fed style and fashion and entertainment reports ten minutes into the evening "news".
Sad.
