Awesome stuff.

This article highlights the difference between real heroes with character and cowards that imitate them.
Glenn McConnell comes to mind.
Avoided Viet Nam, never joined the Reserves, dresses up in “Confederate general” costumes, and pulls an imitation antique cannon behind his Mercedez Benz to “Civil War battle re-enactments.”
Shame on us for electing that coward.

Great story – I’d like to read more of folks like him. As a side note, perhaps you could research the claims that a pow camp was in Dentsville, just south of Decker Boulevard.
Very true. Mostly German officers and many were “leased” out to work on neighboring farms since that area was rural at the time. What is ironic is that Richland and Lexington County were settled by German immigrants and these prisoners were probably descended from the same families.
The area bordered by the Congaree River and the Saluda River was settled by Deutsch people (German folks) and the Scotts-Irish/English yeoman farmers couldn’t understand them and when they were saying they were “Deutsch Volks” (German Folks) the local residents thought they were saying “Dutch Forks.” So that is how the area Dutch Fork got its name. And now you know the rest of the story…

Sadly: FITS is the exact opposite of what this man represents. Fowler, if he ever read what you do, would be sickened.
Too much of America is just like FITS: A disgrace to men like this. Pop culture is more like the 60s cowards that were gutless, but this man fought for freedom and honor that FITS, Obama and co pervert on a daily baisis.
I wonder where BigT fits in? He seems to come off as a big crybaby obsessed with responding to every comment.
You look kinda stupid responding to me, resonding to a comment..and that’s all you can come up with.
What a Dumb@$$…
Yeah, better ask Ted Nugent…Lol…
Why not ask Bill Clinton Dumb@$$?…Nugent is a Rocker. Clinton posed as Commander in cheif. Clinton let Obama go AFTER the WTC was bombed the first time…Thanks for NOTHING Draft-Dodger…
Shit, Dawg! Clinton rocks a sax! So, it’s okay for the Nuge but not Clinton to draft dodge?
So you’re trying life off medications again I see. I don’t think it’s working.
Well said BigT. One day, someone will discover they can’t serve two masters.

I wonder how many Sixties Liberals, and the Obama-types they spawned, are Ashamed of themselves when they read of this man’s effort and selflessness for his country?
If McConnell was a liberal, I’d say, start there.

I was absolutely fascinated with the HBO series “Band of Brothers”. My wife and I went to Tallulah Gorge one summer and stopped in Taccoa, Georgia and went to where their training base was at the base of Currahee Mountain. We hiked the road up Currahee Mountain, the same road those guys jogged up with full battle packs, and that is something to help you appreciate what kind of men they were. It is worth the trip, about 3 hours or so away.
My wonderful Daddy who I am so proud of. He is my HERO. Unconditional love
. I am so proud to be his daughter. You will NEVER meet another WWII POW HERO LIKE MY DADDY
Glennie, you have every right to be proud. I’ve known your Daddy since we were both about 18 and I have admired him for his bravery and his never-dying faith. I married his first cousin who, as a marine, served in the S. Pacific, but escaped the kind of experience Louis endured.

Great post, Will. It’s good that those kids get to see what a real hero looks like.

I was astounded a few months ago when I read how many airmen were lost in WWII, both US and British, both actual numbers and percentages of all airmen.

I love this man and am proud to call him my Grandfather
Daniel – I agree and am proud to be called a granddaughter of this heroic man. I hope you and the whole family are doing well. Love and miss all of you!

My uncle was a Navy corpman/medic. He landed with the men storming the beachs. His letters home to his mother during the war told how the boys dieing of their wounds during the nights would cry out for their mothers. The horrors he must have seen.
