He had set up a small card table just inside one of the airport book stores and was selling his book, "All The Way Too Berlin". I bought a copy and he autographed it for me on Feb. 7, 2005 with the inscription: "To Daniel, a true history and WWII buff who reflects and appreciates the service of our veterans." Seemed like a very nice man. After reading the book it was hard to imagine such a nice man performing so "not so nice" things in battle! He is a true hero and I hope he gets the Medal of Honor soon while he can enjoy it. - Daniel Sides Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:19:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/james-maggie-megellas.htm#comment-19136 I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Maggie in the Dallas airport where he was signing his book. I almost missed him, but as I was walking by the DSC caught my eye. He was very gracious while I stood there and explained the the various medals he was wearing to my girls. I'm ex Army, so seeing someone standing there wearing two silver stars, two bronze stars, two purple hearts a DSC and a bunch that I didn't recognize was awe inspiring. I tried to explain to my kids how brave someone must be to be awarded even one. All he said was, "Well, they don't put them in cereal boxes". Anyway, he is the real deal. A true American hero and the fact that he doesn't have the MOA is a terrible injustice. - Charles Bennett Sat, 30 May 2009 15:38:00 +0100
