With the recent passing of a singing sensation to a potential drug overdose, along with 24/7 news coverage and moment of silence on the floor of the House of Representatives, I thought I would share with you a true American hero and describe the glaring memorial service he DID NOT receive.

I did not hear one news broadcast announcing the death of this quiet and humble man. No moment of silence, not even a whisper by the so-called talking heads that enter our homes each night on the Left-leaning STATE run news media. No 24/7 coverage of his accomplishments with his parachute jump behind enemy lines on D-day, the wounds he received, nor the three months he lived in a foxhole in the freezing temperatures in Bastogne. Not one word. I wonder why???
Shifty Powers died of cancer.
I am extremely pound of this man and will honor his service.
So as a tribute and memorial to him, I watched the series "Band of Brothers" again (actually I have seen this wonderful series seven times) to see this hero in action. Shifty Powers is one of the reasons why we can live our lives in peace. GOD bless ALL of our World War II heroes.
We're hearing a lot today about big splashy memorial services.
I want a nationwide memorial service for Darrell "Shifty" Powers.
