Good read for sure.
I would have to guess it's not exactly real as it would be hard to remember this whole thing if you simply sat and listened, either way it was a good read that makes you think.
It really makes me wonder what my grandfather would say if he was here.
You don't drive a tank across France and take a near miss through the helmet without learning a few things along the way, he was a Missouri farm boy who got called to war along with one of his brothers and made it home to die of old age while installing a flag pole he built to fly the flag he fought to defend all those years ago.
