They announced it during the Vikes/Steelers game, too.

It's a bad year for popular authors. I know of him now, and Vince Flynn earlier this year.

Students comforted and prayed for Oresko at the last: "We can't let him die alone." RIP Sergeant Oresko. America thanks you for your bravery.

Oresko, 96, was a U.S. Army master sergeant during World War II, when, although badly wounded, he wiped out two enemy bunkers near Tettingen, Germany, during the Battle of the Bulge.

Wow

Wow

RIP

From the article:

“The machine gunner who shot me thought I was dead,” Oresko said. “I was able to move around, sneak around, so they didn’t see me. They saw me go down. They thought they’d killed me, but they didn’t. I slipped around and somehow got around, and they were in a bunch.” Oresko killed 12 German soldiers and refused to leave the area until he was sure his unit had completed its mission. “They wanted to take me back to the hospital,” Oresko said. “I said ‘No, let’s take the position first.’ I didn’t want to give it up after doing so much.”

Seeing "The Right Stuff" only gives a hint of how big those guys were. Rock stars.
