gun nutty Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 http://www.foxnews.c...intcmp=features https://en.wikipedia...ilitary_service I don't know a thing about his politics, but the following quote shocked me: "He was among the first wave of U.S. soldiers to land at Normandy during the D-Day invasion and the only member of his Army unit to survive. He killed several Germans and was wounded in the leg. Later he was bayoneted by a young German soldier whom he killed with a rock. He was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and survived a massacre of prisoners. In later years, he refused to discuss the military service for which he was awarded the Silver Star and three Purple Hearts." Today's not only Christmas Day, but also a day to remember a hero. RIP, Charles Durning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
