re: Band of Brothers hero dies

He was a real American hero. God bless Shifty Powers.

I met a Navajo code talker a couple of years ago at the four corners. He had a Marine hat on and I asked him if he was one and he said yes. I bought a Buffalo nickel money clip from him that I still carry. I was honored to shake his hand. I had just heard an NPR story a few weeks earlier about them that said there were only about 400 still living.
