Won't be long before they're all gone.

"Lynn D. “Buck” Compton, an Army paratrooper whose World War II service was portrayed in the book and HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers” and who later as a prosecutor secured a conviction of Robert F. Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan, died Feb. 26 at his home in Burlington, Wash. He was 90."

And when our work is done,
Our course on earth is run,
May it be said, "Well done,
Be thou at peace."


Buck, sir, be thou at peace...

Saw this a little while ago. Less newsworthy than "Justine Beiber's toenail clipping revealed"

That's telling.

Lynn "Buck" Compton, ye'll not be forgotten.
