Hard to imagine the last survivor died a year ago in May of 2019 with SSG Albert Mampre. These guys were real heroes along with all those that served in the Great War. I sit here looking at my grandfather's Purple Heart from the Battle of the Bulge and sure miss him and many of those guys I grew up with listening to their stories.
It's hard to believe that I will be telling my kids about these men one day and will be such a distant history.
I'm posting this because I have generally kept up with the history and men and didn't realize they were all gone. I've got a letter and picture from **** Winters, which is a long story, but was always a fan of these men. I'm proud to have served myself, but what they did for me and for us is just unfathomable.
