Went to a parade last weekend where the guest of honor was a paratrooper from the American 101st Airborne Division who parachuted into Normandy. I cannot imagine what courage that took.

Incidentally, the local minor-league baseball team, the Lancaster Barnstormers is having a tribute to Dick Winters and the rest of the "Band of Brothers" tonight with some of the veterans making an appearance. (Dick Winters lived locally the last few years of his life.) Very appropriate.
