Some of you might remember that I got to meet one of the famous "Band of Brothers" last year  and yesterday he passed away at the age of 94.

OMAHA, Neb. — A member of the "Band of Brothers" who fought in some of World War II's fiercest European battles, Ed Mauser shunned the limelight and kept his service with the Army unit a secret, even from some of his family.

His role came to light only after his brother-in-law got him a copy of the HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers," said Terry Zahn, who met Mauser during a 2009 Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C., to see the World War II memorial. Mauser, who died Friday, told his family that some of the things in the miniseries, like the locations of buildings, weren't quite what he remembered from being there in person.

there are certain Americans who should have immortality conveyed upon them.  All of these heroes should have that.  I guess in a way they do.....May God bless them all
