I feel honored to know them and the stories they have shared with me. true heros. one a note, the man i am standing next to , is wilber platt, served in pattons armor div, in north africa as a turent .30 caliber machine gunner, in north africa ,sicely and france where he was severaly wounded, recieving ,three bronze stars, a purple heart and the afirica campain medal, before pasing on he once told me" ervin romell was smart, george s patton was smart and crazy at the same time" the man staring seated in the wheel chair, is sgt ronald bruce, winner of the silver star,and two purple hearts, he has never talked much, but he told me he has never regreted serving.
