What makes Ernie’s comments throughout the war outstanding today...against the poor journalism that we get day in and day out...is that he wrote everything like a letter to his parents. There was a description of how things were going...a guy’s feelings...his fears...what accomplishments a guy had done by age 19. I’ve probably read around thirty of his columns....and they all seem like a regular guy just trying to describe a very special moment in his life....and he did this every single day. We need more Ernies today.
Yes, we do. He was a special person with special talent.
