    Amazing tale of another who "just did his job". That was an ironic twist to end his military career. I haven't checked yet but the Colonel definitely needs to be added to the Roll of Honor here at WW2f.

    Men should be remembered not for the amount of metal on their chest but for the actions themselves. Ordinary men who did extraordinary things.
