72newport Posted March 22, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 22, 2009 It is with immense sadness that I report that a true American hero of WWII, Sgt Donald Brinenstool, passed away in his sleep this past Friday night. Don was with A/506 101st Airborne, and one of the reasons I reenact WWII and 101st Airborne. Many of you may recognize his name from George Koskimaki's and Don Burgett's books. I was fortunate enough to have known him personally. He will be sorely missed. Here we are with Don at a recent event last Summer, he is on the far right.

Teamski Posted March 22, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 22, 2009 May he rest in peace. I bet Donald Burgett is feeling pretty lonely right now. They are fading fast. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
