And Then There Were Four

From the very 1st time I read about these guys when I was in elementary school I have held them in the highest regards. It is sad that they will not be on tour anymore but what a hell of a job they did.

I like stories like this. These men are a special breed. I have been fortunate enough to hear some stories of what happened first hand from my grandfather who, among other things, was one of the men who liberated Dachau.

That is part of why it infuriates me that so many are eager to throw away our freedoms that these brave men fought and died for.

They sure don't make them like that anymore. My great grandfather who raised me passed away when I was ten leaving me as the man of the house. He stormed the beaches of Normandy but never talked to anyone about the war until he was on his death bed. He was a great man and taught me a lot in our short time together.
