I don't know if anyone noticed but Daryl "Shifty" Powers of "Band of Brothers" fame died last week at the age of 86.
As some of you may not know, he was given a gift of an M1 Garand that matched the last three serial numbers of the rifle he carried throughout the war. It was an incredible gift and I felt it was fitting given his service to this country. The story is worth reading.
Men like you will be missed, Shifty. Another one lost of the Greatest Generation. We will never see another like it.
