My childhood was filled with stories of heroes like these, both written, and from the survivors themselves, as well as through my lifetime.

It disgusts me to see the many in America who have no understanding of what drove these men - what motivated them to endure beyond ordinary limits and act on behalf of their fellow men.

To them, no war is 'just,' although the Bible is filled with ones who were told to go forth by God, with His backing and blessing! We need some more Joshuas, for example...

It is with sadness that I foresee the eventual regret they will have when they stand before their Creator and explain themselves....

You are right on.

Just popped in to say hi...one of these days I will be able to stay up and "play" with you all. Have a wonderful evening...god bless our men and women overseas and give their families comfort.....

Thanks for the reminder of Ernie Pyle.

If I'd been that General, I would jumped over the podium and slapped that geeky fool for 'meaning no disrespect'.

Our press truly does aid and abet the enemy.

A little too much of that, and the one becomes the other.
