Hello:) Most of the stuff I post isn't mine, so if you see something of yours that you want taken off (or if it's not properly credited to you) just let me know and i'll take care of it.
Winters: I cherish the memory of a question my grandson asked me the other day, when he said: ‘Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?’ Grandpa said, “No. But I served in a company of heroes.”

“‘Dear Sir or Madam: Soon your son will drop from the sky to engage and defeat the enemy. He will have the best of weapons, and equipment, and have had months of hard, strenuous training to prepare him for success on the battlefield. Your frequent letters of love and encouragement will arm him with a fighting heart. With that, he cannot fail, but will win glory for himself, make you proud of him, and his country ever grateful for his service in its hour of need.’
—Herbert M. Sobel, Capt., Commanding.”
