Sounds like MsDrby is going to have to write up a little piece of the family history for the Foxhole. :-)

Oh I've found the book alright. Folks online want from 50-200 for a copy. Yikes. Better search the library where we can read it for free!

Thanks for unretiring for a new thread. What a treat!
I am just in awe of what those three soldiers did. I still haven't read a MOH story that didn't make me tear up.
Perfect weather in this foxhole. Yesterday was a 75 degree high, crystal clear skies, no wind, and a full moon rising with the evening. Today is close to a re-run. "Tis a privilege to live in Colorado."

Say, JimRob, since you stopped by the Foxhole . . . . IMHO Sam and Snippy deserve some kind of FR medal of honor for all their hard work on the Foxhole threads over the years. Besides a wonderful class in military history, the Foxhole has been a fitting tribute to the generations of Americans bearing arms in defense of our nation.
