General Kinnard dies

I never knew the whole story about Anthony C. McAuliffe‘s response to the Germans when he and the 101st Airborne were surrounded in the Ardennes. The famous response was “Nuts.” It appears that there was more to the story than that pithy retort. Harry W. O. Kinnard helped “craft” the response. The New York Times has more. (The more I learn about WWII the more I admire those that fought in that war.)
General Kinnard died a few days ago at the age of 93.
