<p>Joe,</p>
<p>Wonderful detailed article. A real education for me and thanks for your efforts.</p>
<p>I laughed when I read about the 5 pistols. He was certainly well prepared.</p>
<p>It truly warms my soul when I read about those mostly unsung Irishmen and women</p>
<p> who made such a difference to the world. Thanks again for sharing the knowledge.</p>
