Deep respect for Jason Crow..
I had the pleasure of knowing a 10th Mountain Division soldier (now passed) who skied with the Waterville Valley (NH) Black and Blue Trail Smashers (the oldest senior ski club in America) well into his 80s. Recently his grandson has been regaling members with his research into his grandfather's experiences gleaned from diary notes written in minute print on, I believe, cigarette packages. Plus other memorabilia. Don't forget that these were very dedicated young men who went off to fight for their country.
