We don’t make them like than any more. Before he passed, I used to correspond with Major Dick Winters, the hero of Easy Company of the Band of Brothers. He was a great man. He and all his men were true American heroes. We simply don’t make heroes like that any more. Very sad. America has simply gotten too fat and happy. We are spoiled. And what does spoiled stuff smell like? Yup, stink.

I am regularly impressed with what that generation accomplished. I think part of it was that most of them had it really tough during the depression.

I am also impressed by our enemies of that era. They were no pansies either.
