After the war, Smith worked a couple of years before he rejoined the army to go and fight in the Korean War.

"After I got in the army, they wouldn't let me go. They said: `You got a VC, you're not allowed to fight any more.'

"I said: `Why didn't you tell me before I rejoined?'''
I love that attitude...

especially when this is also the same person

"Nothin','' said the then-85-year-old veteran. "I just wanted you to come over and watch the sunrise.''

"You never know when your last sunrise is going to be.''
Truer words were never spoken...

What a great guy
