Damn that post was incredible I had to read it to my husband, what a beautiful man Mr. Crawford was am so sad that he is gone and he will never be forgotten! It's so sad that so many of the men that saved the United States and were worth two are dying off left and right including both of my my husband fathers. My current husband's father bought at Iwo Jima, I could only imagine the pure hell the man has seen in his life but he did it with such grace and dignity. He survived, but lost many dear friends and was the one to tell their parents that their child had died during the war. My first husband his father retired a three star general from the Air Force Academy. They are both passed away now but they seldom talk to about the war but when they did it was awful to relive the experience they lived during the war. My ex-husband's father he was the third three-star general quit and retired during Vietnam because he couldnt no longer be at general during Vietnam because he thought the war was wrong, so he retired and got his third star when he retired. My husband now his father was a Marine and the first Marine division so you could imagine the shit that he saw as a source of pride great pride for my husband! He was a sneaky son of a bitch you got out of Vietnam by lying and saying he was crazy and got out of the war but who can fucking blame him? That post was so beautiful and I think we all need to read it it can make us all better people! Thank you for the beautiful post! Brought back many beautiful memories and we missed the people so much that we have lost thank you! They are a dying breed of real heroes!
