This is such a good question..... I put out my Hero Herf edition of men I truly admire for their dedication to their country and their fellow Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen.

Then you would have enjoyed talking with this man. http://en.wikipedia....i/James_M._Burt
Our Battalion had a huge party from him I think it was either 1996 or 1997. Each member of the Battalion got a chance to shake his hand and thank him for his service to the USA. It was a pretty humbling experience. Our Unit was named after him. Then the Army shipped it to Germany long after I got out and changed the named.

Thanks for that...very interesting reading and one truly great Citizen Soldier. There was a group of WWII Tank Mechanics that I used to run into while stationed in Phoenix and over many beers they told me about the charge through Europe what they had to do to keep the Tanks going and their admiration for the men who rode them into battle.
Truly the Greatest Generation

Glad you enjoyed it. I just can't remember which year it was that we met the man. I think it may have been 1997 for his birthday. We had just wrapped up Task Force XXI in April 1997 and then the big Battalion party. It was pretty cool to see a 4 star General snap to attention when he was wheeled out in his wheel chair. It was a pretty hot day so they didn't want him walking around.
They have a little Museum dedicated to the Medal of Honor recipients on the post of Ft Hood. I went in it one time and its something I still haven't forgotten. When you read what they did during the wars, it is a reminder what some humans will do for their fellow man even if they lose their own life saving others.
I agree completely.
When I paid my thanks to Joe Foss for what he did for his country and his countrymen he said, " I only did what any American would have done in my place."
Truly an amazing man.

My paternal grandfather, WWI veteran who died 30 years ago this year.
W. Arnold, WWII veteran. Tank commander, Bronze Star recipient. Lost both legs when an 88 came in the hood of his tank. Died of pancreatic cancer in 2002, just a few hours after my sister was killed in an automobile crash. His wife called me when he was diagnosed, and said that he wanted to see me. That last visit with him is one of my fondest memories. I missed his funeral because of my sister's arrangements. One of the most amazing men I've ever had the privilege of knowing. His son is still one of my best friends. (Sorry for rambling)
