My neighbor is a retired Army Colonel. Served almost 30 years in both Gulf Wars and with NATO as a military advisor in Afghanistan. (Operation Resolute Support).
I also had the honor of meeting Major Richard “Dick” Winters, of “Band of Brothers” fame. His son was a work colleague of mine at the time. What an incredible gracious and humble man.
It will always be one of the great privileges of my life…being able to meet him and shake his hand.
