I've thought the same. I can't imagine anyone right now has it anywhere close to what they went thru, and they sucked it up and went on. It's a shame that we don't have very many left to show the way these days.
RIP Mr. Guarnere

Agreed Jim. They truly were the greatest generation.
I'm sure Bill Guarnere appreciated all of the bonus years he was given.

Different generation. Different perspective on what it was to be a man.

I believe there is some footage of him returning to the same treeline he was dug in on.
Rest in peace.
