Part of a letter my grandfather received along with all other members of the 117th Antiaircraft artillery battalion at the end of WWII.

It is amazing how many exceptional people there have been through out history. William Dale Nix... nobody ever heard of him but he is equal in thought to those who are household names.
Not everybody wants to be seen all the time. Most probably do not. Like Maj. Dix they want to live out their lives in love and peace with their family and their life’s work but that does not make them any less exceptional than the headline makers. Not to me.
