knapplc Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 One of many real American heroes in just that one company. And there were many, throughout the ETO and PTO. Great quote by Compton here: “Second platoon was indeed ‘blessed’ to have Buck Compton as our leader. He was a quiet and strong officer who, above all, listened and talked to the men under his command. I could never say enough to express my thanks and admiration for Buck Compton.” - William ‘Wild Bill’ Guarnere Quote Link to comment
rawhide Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Definitely a American Hero not a celebrity; but his kind helped build this country. He probably felt his life after WWII was the fight worth fighting as a D.A. My thoughts and prayers to his family. Quote Link to comment
