No memorial service at the Staples Center

[Crafty Angler]

For those of you who don't know, the author of that email was Chuck Yeager.

Sad to think of how few of the generation that literally saved the world are left with us today - and how many other remarkable stories of heroism and sacrifice will never be told.

Rest easy, Shifty

[Joe]

A remarkable, humble person. I'm sure there are so many stories under the markers - we'd have grown up in the Hitler Youth without them. Shifty could pop off snipers from a standing position with an M-1 Carbine (without a scope) while under fire
Shifty was the kind of guy you hope you're on the same side as.
