Title: West Virginia Hero
Post by: Nefarious on June 07, 2014, 01:13:46 PM

I am visiting family in Huntington WV today and made it a point to stop and visit this hero. I looked up his grave marker and decided I would pay my respects this weekend. 70 years ago yesterday he jumped into Normandy and was awarded the Bronze star for his action at Brecourt Manor. He was played by Donnie Wahlberg in the HBO mini series Band of Brothers.
