Another true hero gone
« on: January 22, 2013, 08:09:54 AM »
Another true hero from WWII has left us.

Quote
The family of James "Jake" McNiece confirmed his death Monday. He was 93.

McNiece, a retired Ponca City postal worker, commanded a group of men during WWII nicknamed "The Filthy 13." That group served as the inspiration for the movie "The Dirty Dozen."

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams
