RIP Babe, and thank you for your service. Edward "Babe" Heffron, May 16, 1923 - December 1, 2013 "I want people to know we're not heroes. We did our duty, just like sixteen million others who fought in the war. Everyone, including the families, sacrificed in some way. The kids who didn't come home are the heroes. They’re the ones who gave their lives. Their parents are the heroes, because they gave a child." Former private with Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, in the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army during World War II. h/t Will Lyster

Damn.... RIP.
If you haven't seen the series Band of Brothers, I suggest this for anyone that ever uses the term 'Brother'.
This series will also give you some insight on 'Babe'.
Thanks for the post, Rogue
