I noticed that we missed noticing the recent passing of a true American hero - Command Sergeant Major Basil Plumley passed away on October 10, 2012. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942, and served during WWII, Korea and Viet Nam. He was portrayed by Sam Elliott in the Mel Gibson film, "We Were Soldiers," which told the story of the Battle La Drang in 1965. I did notice that Carl has honored him by using Sgt. Maj. Plumley's photo as his avatar. Thank you Carl. CSM Plumley - we could use more like him to help keep the world a safer place.
