| ______________________________________ [Jan 10,2011 4:57pm - the_reverend ""] a hero |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 10,2011 7:10pm - dreadkill ""] He was the best dick ever |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 10,2011 7:15pm - Boozegood ""] That guy was a bad-ass, almost impossible to find officers like that (at least these days). |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 10,2011 7:40pm - largefreakatzero ""] Awesome dude, RIP. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 10,2011 7:51pm - Dankill ""] Dude was a true badass and hero. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 10,2011 8:37pm - dreadkill ""] It's sad that in a few years the last of the wwII heroes will die out. They don't make people like that anymore. RIP |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 10,2011 8:43pm - Boozegood ""] dreadkill said:They don't make people like that anymore. They certainly do, I know (and knew, RIP) some personally. People just don't care anymore. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 10,2011 8:47pm - dreadkill ""] I'm glad to know that there are still some people like that. I wish there were more. RIP to your fallen comrades. |

RIP to your fallen comrades. It's hard to find who they are, as they will never in a million years admit to being such a person, and are embarrassed when they are called such. No one would know how heroic Major Richards was if no one told his story or talked to his men. I hope there will be a time when the modern heroes stories are told by historians and writers, so they can be recognized as well. |

In a few years everyone will forget who he is. And then maybe decades from now someone will write a book about him or his unit and then he'll be a household name again. |

He killed 50 germans at least single handedly and was the most decorated soldier in history Funny thing is he had to fake his age to get in, and even then the navy, marines, and para-troopers denied him because they said he was too short and even the army wanted to make him a cook because he was too slight of build. Imagine killing that many nazis |
