As a child I knew about Calley. I didn't know about Thompson until I was in the military myself and he was given as an example of what it means to be an American soldier. Posted by: Donnah at January 9, 2006 03:09 PM Bill, thank you for linking this, and Donnah thank you for posting it, and providing the link to the article/interview with the gunner, who was only 18 when this happened. The courage of those 3 guys is utterly amazing. God bless them all. Posted by: Maggie45 at January 9, 2006 08:35 PM |
