Thanks for this post. I had never heard of this gentleman, but he sounds like he was one tough person. It would be great to have a movie on his life like Audie Murphy did when he returned from war, "To H*** and Back" is still one of my favorite movies of the era.
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon
