mtnman Posted November 29, 2022 Share #51 Posted November 29, 2022 Greetings , I was just looking through some the airborne highlights on our splendid forum and the soldier's grouping just stands out with historical significance and presence in some of the most harrowing and deadly and transformational historical battles of the history of air/ground unified warfare. Thank you and all Airborne collectors, for your dedication to preserving the history intact, of such a storied section of modern warfare which included this intrepid young man marked for participation in the pivotal battles marking the end of one of the most murderous and tyrannical regimes that came out of the age of reason, man determining he could be the standard, in and of his own appetites, lusts and desires, of what is morality and truth apart from the foundational biblical principles which undergirded the great Western civilization that once existed as it came to fruition out of the Reformation Faithfuls' efforts. For those of the counterreformation age of reason, Hitler (and of course Stalin) was one of their most preeminent demigods, because they represented the will to power that would validate man in the position of deity. Splendid example of one of the warriors chosen to put down that course of self deification and the resulting suffering of mankind that always follows it. Well done....

Persian Gulf Command Posted November 29, 2022 Share #52 Posted November 29, 2022 mtnman, Very well said. Your words are poignant in that these items we collect and discuss in this Forum are the the artifacts of those who gave of themselves to honor their people and sacrifice for perpetuity of their way of life. Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortsix Posted December 28, 2022 Share #54 Posted December 28, 2022 I'm not sure how much this adds to what is already known but it gives a bit of detail about his service.

philliephanatic Posted March 3, 2023 Share #55 Posted March 3, 2023 Thanks Shortsix. His sister Ruth was my grandmother. She gave me a scrapbook that they kept, but I think a lot of those articles came out of The Luminary, Muncy, PA. I don't think any of the articles were from the Grit.
