Today as I was finishing work, crossing a supermarket parking lot in Souderton, Pa., a very distinguished gentleman and his wife were about to get into their car. I noticed he was wearing a "Screaming Eagle" baseball cap. I said hello and asked if he had made the jump into Normandy and he said that he had. I asked if the movie " Band of Brothers" did a good job of portraying what it was like and he said that in fact it did. He said that he trained and fought with Dick Winter, Bill G.and all the others. He said that he was in the first group of men to enter the Eagles Nest. I asked if he found and brought home anything from the Eagles Nest and he said " you would not believe what I have". He smiled, we shook hands and parted. Ooh My. The things that dreams are made of !
