THE GREAT ESCAPE, BRIT HERO OF THE STORY PASSES AWAY.

 

I thought it might be a brief change from things I usually bring here, to remember and honor this guy. I really wish the Telegraph had put his photo online as they did in the paper.  But no matter.  I want my fellow Americans to see this for another reason as well.

I can’t think of a single paper in the states in any major market, that does obits like this on our ppl.  And while a movie was made on the exploits of this group, the Telegraph runs obits on lesser known but nonetheless high achievers who’ve made some kind of difference.

RIP, Sqn. Leader James

   Ain’t that the damned truth.  Englishmen like that are quickly becoming illegal.

   There are still some good ones, thank God.  A minority the rest of the country is trying to silence, but they do exist.
