What a shame. The word hero gets bandied around too much, but by all accounts, it applies to him of all people.

The World War II soldiers that helped found America as it is today and preserve the democratic institutions we hold dear are slowly leaving us.

Another man gone that changed the world in such a dramatic way.

Yea that sucks, he deserved being called a hero hands down.

**Asherian Command**

I liked him so much, I did a history project on him, he was a very great man, may he rest in peace.

**A Black Ram**

Rest in Peace..

I met him at the Fall-In convention. A nice old guy. Could have listened to his stories all day. RIP

He did the sharp end in a businesslike but classy way. Not enough like that.
