cdbeck -> An American Hero Passes (8/16/2008 6:54:01 PM)

James Hoyt, one of the soldiers who liberated Buchenwald, dies at 83.
Apparently there is a new book called "The Oxford Project" coming out that will feature an interview with Hoyt. Some of the stories he told were horrifying and it is awe-inspiring to note that Hoyt was only 19 when he witnessed these things and did these deeds for his country. When I think of what I was doing when I was 19, I thank Hoyt and others like him for his sacrifices to make me able to live a comfortable and happy life.
To all the veterans out there, thank you, and RIP Mr. Hoyt.
