RIP, William “Wild Bill” Guarnere, Easy Company, 506th PIR, 101st AB Div.

LC & IB Jaybear just brought us the unwelcome news that Wild Bill passed away yesterday, March 8th, at the quite respectable age of 90.

Age Shall Not Weary Them, Nor the Years Condemn

On this Memorial Day, the Year of Our L-rd 2013: Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres, There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of
