Losing these guys too fast. That generation was the greatest ever.

That's pretty incredible

Frank John Hughes was probably the most spot on casting in BoB. Any time they did the pre-episode interviews with the actual soldiers, there was no guessing who Wild Bill was.

It's "gonorrhea". If you're going to use the nickname, spell it right!

You're joking, right?
Posted on 3/9/14 at 10:18 pm to sicboy
I never joke about spelling, SIR!

Where did he try to spell gonorrhea? You realize his last name actually is Guarnere, right?

The stars come from his two combat jumps-Normandy and Market Garden.

Weren't those stars on their jump wings?

A mans man. Just like most of our paw paws.

Yes. Bill Guarnere, given the nickname 'gonorrhea' by his brothers-in-arms.
I was talking to the folks spelling the nickname 'ghonnaria', not the folks up front correctly spelling the man's last name.
