George, I have seen all the Band of Brothers episodes since they first aired and several reruns afterward. Anytime they're on TV I watch them, that's how much I like that series. I have the upmost respect for those men of Easy Company and you were truly blessed that destiny afforded the privilege to meet a hero like Darrell "Shifty" Powers. May he rest in peace in heaven in God's Glory. The greatest generation is fading away and plenty of what is left in America (the current generation) scares the hell out of me with their lack of values. This is very heartwarming.

What does that even mean anymore, when practically anybody is labeled as such? It's like "legend," "genius" and so forth. All sorts of words have become essentially meaningless due to debasement by constant misuse. But yes, this guy, in real-life terms, is so far above someone like Michael Jackson that the difference in how our society treats them is obscenely grotesque. Welcome to the 21st century. Hero?

In some ways, we still are, but not like then.. Not ever again. like you said, the death of a movie star or performer brings more rating and $$$ to the networks than the death of a HERO. How lucky for you to have met him. Your story had me in tears. Thank you Shifty for your sacrafice, dedication and love for your country. Rest in Peace. George,
