I’ve know some of them.

The house I live in was purchased from the widow of one, he was my friend and my father’s friend.

He came in behind the lines on Normandy with the 101st in a glider, jumped into Holland and was trucked into the Bulge.

Tears, thinking about him. They must always be remembered.

They are what will help the US survive.

Hill could hear Rescorla issuing orders through the bullhorn. He was calm and collected, never raising his voice. Then Hill heard him break into song:

Men of Cornwall stop your dreaming;
Can’t you see their spearpoints gleaming?
See their warriors’ pennants streaming
To this battlefield.
Men of Cornwall stand ye steady;
It cannot be ever said ye
for the battle were not ready;
Stand and never yield!
