Today’s episode has a lot of meaning from a historical perspective not because of its significance or fame but because it draws from original source documents that then differ in remembrance between participants and those that were there and that is ok for it provides us a forum for which to debate as we search for the truth or least one side of the truth. The story leads us to absolutes that are then discovered 45 years later not to be so absolute. This story will have us ponder fate and will take us through acts of heroism, it is a reminder that Mother Nature is unforgiving, and the enemy can be ruthless. The story continues for over 45 years after the war with revaluations coming to light even for the best of military historians. Lastly it is a solemn reminder of just how difficult it is for a Mother and a Father to grieve when there is no grave at which to pay homage.
