Yet, with all this, he was still a humble man.
For example, he didn't want his death publicized until after he was buried.
And the impression I got from the series was that the true heroes were those who didn't return; the humble ones who did return considered themselves 'survivors'--like 'Richard Dick' Winters
 

It is a sad day for this nation when someone of this character passes away.
