When General MacAuliffe made his legendary comment “Nuts!”, maybe he just wanted a salty snack to go with Vincent Speranza’s beer...

Posts on politics are necessary, helpful, valuable, even important, however, some of my favorite FR posts are articles like this and science providing an uplifting message that there were/are things other than the cesspool of politics.

great story, nothing a guy won’t do for a thirsty friend...
At a time when the Vietnam War was at its height, one man, John “Chickie” Donohue, snuck back into the war zone to find his 3 closest friends and bring them a beer.
Crazy or caring, Chickie gave his friends more than beer, he gave them hope. Hope that helped each one safely return home when the war was over. Now, 47 years later, the group is reunited to relive the greatest beer run ever.

Makes me want to go to Bastogne and partake of an Airborne beer or 3 as I retired out of the 101st Airborne.
