I appreciate the sentiment, but I have to disagree with you there; the USA is still blessed with "Brothers" like these great men, and they are serving in all 4 branches today. My thanks to all of them, past and present. From the French and Indian war all the way up to today's conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, we've been blessed with great men and women who served our country. I have really enjoyed reading the different books about Easy Company's part in WWII, and then following up with others like Audie Murphy, Jimmy Stewart, and George McGovern, as well as many other non-famous folk.

This makes me worry for my Grandfather. He will be 94 April 1st. He was a Marine Infantrymen in the Pacific 42-45. Spent his 28th B-day, hitting the beach at Okinawa
