"Living artifact" no but a national treasure yes.

That was truly inspiring. God bless this man. My father was also in the 82nd Airborne, but during Korea, not WW2.

I wish he could have met my Dad years ago.....they had a lot in common.

My Dad was also a WWII vet........and for years after the war he was also was "angry and belligerent."

This man found peace...and it's too late for my Dad to learn his lesson.

But at least I learned his lesson........

Certainly a great video and the gentleman is a true representative of our greatest generation. I must say, though, that as a Vietnam veteran I consider the stakes of the two wars entirely different. Saying that, I am still angry and behaps belligerant having seen 48 thousand plus American lives lost for what I consider a much lesser cause. I never killed anyone but still see so many dead and maimed young American souls in my mind and dreams and they don't seem to disappear.

We really need to get together someday over a few beers. I owe more than one Dustoff crew more than a few drinks......
