If you looked under his kilt, I'm sure you'd find balls of steel. While death was looming all around on D-Day, he rallied his comrades by marching up and down the beach playing his bagpipes.

He said he found out later, after meeting Germans who had manned guns above the beach, that they didn’t shoot him “because they thought I was crazy.”

Love it! Rest in Peace...
