God BLESS this American HERO! It is his SPIRIT that epitomizes the "American ideal" and I'm glad he got to enjoy another 60 years after he got home. This is the kind of guy that makes the United States the GREATEST country on the face of the Earth......

Wow. An amazing story and an amazing human being. It is my belief that there are people who act as a shining beacon to the rest of humanity. The world is somewhat darker with his passing but the next world is that much brighter.
