| Before Victor "Gene" Whytsell, a WWII vet who relentlessly engaged the German army across Belgium, Holland, Germany, France and Czechoslovakia:
"Some battles lasted a week, day and night, without a break. A few times the temperature dropped to 25 below zero. A body got really cold."
"I've seen hundreds killed, and on many days I thought it would be my day to die."
His memorable quote before he died at 88:
"Why can't our political leaders learn from these
terrible wars?"
