Dick was a great man and I am proud to have met him in person and to have had quite a conversation with him when I was a much younger officer. At the time he was still not happy that the 101st had been taken by and large off "jump" status and Band of Brothers had not hit the mass popularity it shares today.
Oh and humble man he was to include going over and getting me drink when he saw my beer cup was empty. I had no idea he was a DSC recipient and so much more until a more experienced paratrooper pointed that out to me.
Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction, which in war can happen.
