Some posts, some things I excerpted and linked but I'm sending you to the original post, some things too short to excerpt and too good to not mention. I occasionally move things from Bill's Nibbles to longer posts as the day goes on.

"Critter" Crittenden: It was almost exactly a year after the fact that I met Larry Gwin. Joe Galloway had steered me toward him, when I told Joe I wanted to talk to local veterans of the Ia Drang battles for the 40th anniversary. In those days I pretty much just wanted to talk to combat veterans, people who knew about it. Larry, formerly of Alpha Co., 2/7 Cav, had 45 combat assaults behind him, a Silver Star and a Purple Heart, and had lived through a couple of the worst days in US military history. He was an investment lawyer downtown, and we met in the kind of place investment lawyers have lunch. When we had eaten and talked and raised a glass to those not present as Larry always sees to it that we do, we walked out of there into the sunlight, and Larry said, “So, you’ve seen the elephant.”
