Amazing story.

Just makes you wonder what the old guy sitting on the bus seat in front of you, or shopping in the local supermarket has experienced all those years ago.
Very few of those guys' stories have been known until after their deaths. They never brag or play the hero. Now I switch on the tv or read in a newspaper about the exploits of 20 year olds, whose only claim to fame is making an idiot of themselves in reality shows.

Thanks for bringing this story and others like it. Respect where it is due.
