“...3 Purple Hearts trying to save members of the 5th Marine division...”

And you know what? He did it because they were his buddies, because it was the right thing to do, and he was a brave man. He just WENT out there for them, and brought them back.

The finest men, indeed. Our fathers were giants walking amongst us, and we didn’t even know it. THEY didn’t even know it, either, which is the reason they were amazing folks.

We are diminished greatly as a People and as a Nation as they leave us.

And as this National Tragedy we have currently running the country unfolds, I can’t help but wonder what they think about it, and about US for letting it happen.
