....you’d be surprised at how many YouTube clips edit the last sentence of his speech....
Knew a guy named Dan Furlong that jumped on D-day and Market-Garden. Was shot up badly in Holland, but survived and live to 92-3. I found he was mentioned in a Stephan Ambrose book on D-Day and I showed it to his son. It was about being told not to load his gun on the jump, being surrounded, and knifing a German soldier. The son never heard the story mentioned in the book. Dan was a good man. Most of these guys are gone now.
