We all gotta go one day. He left a good mark in history.

I liked how he used Hitler's cognac from the Eagle's Nest for his oldest son's Bar Mitzvah.

RIP Col Shames. Job well done.

RIP, Colonel.

Watched the series again when I was down with the Chinese virus back in June. I recall that Dick Winters slipped away without much being reported. We forget too quickly.

RIP Colonel

The world will be an empty place when the last WW II veteran passes. We will not see the likes of them again.

God Bless the Great Warrior.
