Thank you for sharing this! That really is an incredible part of history. Something that never ceases to amaze me is…and dare I say here…the difference in quality of soldiers historically vs. age comparisons today. This man was only 23 years old, parachuting into a country he had never ventured, to take part in a covert operation with the OSS. I wish I could still meet 23 year olds with such educational aspirations and discipline. I know it is not always the case, but from my research it seems like the soldiers of today are getting older and required to be more seasoned to take on such a great task. Even soldiers I have led, there is a very noticeable decline in maturity and education. Why has this changed so much in such a short period of time?
