    “AIRBORNE”, soldiers don’t regard themselves as heroes but just doing what had to be done. In the history of Army paratroopers, 1sg Funk actions during World War Two speak for themselves. In my book, the nation’s book, and the Airborne’s book he is a Hero. “AIRBORNE”.

      It comes from doing what you have to do.
      Nobody goes into combat looking for glory or medals you go in to fight alongside your buddies and to survive.

    I served with the 3rd Bn 325th Abn Inf 2nd Brigade 82nd Abn Div in 1968. I am always proud to read about paratroopers in WW II. In these times it worries me that our nation is in jeopardy. We must, like this paratrooper, do all we can to remain vigilant and unafraid ready to defend our way of life.

    we had SO many giants back then. If they could see what our nation has become, none of them would have bothered to fight.

    I wonder if he was related to German SS soldier Otto Funk? That would mean cousin fighting cousin.

      I read many sources about his story but never heard that he was, but I couldn’t say for sure either way.
