What an incredible man and an incredible leader. We need leaders like him to help our country through this difficult time. May he rest in peace.

One hell of an American. It’s an honor to have lived while he did, though I didn’t know him. We’re a better country because he lived.

I read his book "Beyond the Band of Brothers", As a fan of the movie and Ambrose book, I felt that I had to hear his version. Which proved that Ambrose did a remarkable job telling the story of these men.

And say what they will about Spielberg and Hanks, I still think the HBO miniseries was one of television's greatest moments.

Our prayers for this great man, as well as the untold others who sacrificed years and more for the peace we enjoy.

May he always enjoy greater peace than he ever dreamt of.
