Rest in peace sir. :patriot:
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

One of the Greatest Generation. He saved a lot of his peers from getting wounded.

He hailed from the City of Bend, Oregon. 2017 population = 94,520. I don't know what the karma is about that town, but over the years I have seen a large number of stories about Bend, Oregon. It pops up in the news occasionally for all kinds of things. Most towns of that size never get any ink.
