Same. I was about ready to cheer my ass off.

Then again he doesn't deserve a RIP. Just dead or croaked should suffice.

Pretty sure if the Cheeto in Chief had passed, LG wouldn't be the first place you'd hear about it.

R.I.P. to a hero.

Just did a search for other members of Easy Company who were the main focus of Band of Brothers and Donald Malarkey was one of the last survivors.

It's sad to think most of these men and women who served our country in WWII will be gone in a few years.

I believe the youngest ww2 vets (barring those who lied about their age) will be hitting 90 next year. We are only a few years before they will almost all be gone.

Lots of vets still refuse to talk about what they went through. I hope somehow they talk to their kids and grandkids and family before they're gone. Their stories need to be remembered.
