If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.
-- Major General Patrick Cleburne

than the Arkansans--fearless, brave, and oftentimes courageous beyond
prudence. Dickart History of Kershaws Brigade.

Great video. Now you can see both videos—before and after his jump. I like when he says "to tell you the truth, riding in a plane is boring...it gets exciting when you jump out." And he had "no fear", especially this time when no one was shooting at him.

His travels were like the Band of Brothers group—D-Day/Normandy... Holland... Battle of the Bulge... Bavaria.

Amazing guy. Glad he's still with us. Because so many now aren't.
