You all may remember my Vanity post about this man a while back. He's my fishing buddy, the one with cancer and unable to fish anymore.

The Vanity post about him is at:

His local newspaper finally got around to publishing a story about my buddy, and I thought you'd all enjoy it.

Tell Mr. Fellers thank you for helping to secure the life I’ve already enjoyed.

And, thank you, for the post...without which many of us would never have known of this great man.

Tell your buddy, "Thanks", from our family to he and his.

God bless 'em all.

Del Fellers, a true American hero. Please give him my regards and a big hearty “thank you” for his service.

Because of his deeds and sacrifices, I have enjoyed a prosperous life in the post war era.

Please excuse this segue, but Mr. Fellers is a true Silver Star hero, not like that no good SOB traitorous Senator from Massachusetts.

Stepping off a landing craft into chin-deep water off Angaur Island on Sept. 17, 1944, did little to improve his outlook for the future, Fellers recalled on Thursday.

I bet it didn't. Prayers for your friend, a true hero.
