Didn't know him personally. Did cross paths with him once. Got a good feeling about him.

Sad news, nothing but respect for the man. I am intrigued by his family history. In the movie, he talks about two grandfathers who each lost leg fighting in the Civil War. The man is only 7 years older than me. My grandfathers were in World War I. Their grandfathers fought in the Civil War.

The person that is not willing to fight and die, if need be, for his country has no right to life.

I'd have to rewatch it see, but I thought he said great grandfathers.

but also remember it's a movie, not a documentary.
