An American paratrooper who became a legend in Belgium during World War II for carrying beer in his helmet to give to the wounded has died, the Army’s 18th Airborne Corps said Thursday.
Vincent Speranza, who served in the 101st Airborne Division during the Battle of the Bulge, died Wednesday at the age of 98, the airborne corps said in an online tribute.
“Rest in Peace, Vinny,” the Fort Liberty, North Carolina-based unit said in a Twitter post.

Read his book. A true American, with heroic stories to back it up. RIP

How many of those guys are left? It's sad to see them going. My grandpa was in the 101st and we don't know much about his service other than he was at Bastogne and the Eagles Nest. Wish I'd made more of an effort to find guys he served with when I was younger.

How much beer can you carry in your helmet?
