“I was actually proud of being part of it.” “I’m not a hero, I’m not hero. I’m just a survivor.”

“I always felt bad and I do today for all the servicemen that got killed in action. I think about it all the time.”

“I remember that day after I got wounded. The four of us was there and we were all crying.”

“Anybody would have done what I did I suppose. So I didn’t think of it as being a great hero. It had to be done and everybody did what they had to do.”

“A Hero? What does it mean, a hero? Can you tell me? Just because he did something which is very important? He had a job to do and that’s what I did. I had a job to do and I did it. I’m not a hero, I wouldn’t call myself a hero.”
