Tommy was in a sequel to The Fugitive, US Marshalls, that I remember as good, but I saw it a long time ago, and I'm an easy grader. But I can confidently say it exists.
Tommy played football at Harvard and his roommate was Al Gore.
Damn this is Mase daring us to quit our jobs

New show debuting on Netflix May 30 Department Q based on a series of books by Jussi Adler Olsen, a Scandanavian Noir. I have read them all and they are all enjoyable. The premise is that a troubled detective is given a "promotion" to a new departmeny located in the basement with no staff to handle troubled cold cases. He proceeds to hire a bunch of odd balls to assist him. The books are set in Denmark, but the show relocates it to Scotland. The cast looks good and I am hoping for a "Slow Horses" vibe.
I also did this. Shout out Easy Company
Interesting story. One of my partners at work is a volunteer fireman for at least 25 years . Has nothing to do with the story but I relate it to heroes who volunteered for WW2. He was so moved by band of brothers it aired liked in 2000 or 01 that he wrote a huge letter to Dick Winters after he found his address to thank him for everything he did for our country
Crazy thing is ( at least to me ) winters wrote him back handwritten personalized . I literally only found this out from my partner 2 weeks ago
The moral of this is to me volunteer firemen do what they do because it’s a calling and they don’t talk much about it ( at least most of them ) and WW2 or maybe any war they don’t talk about it it was a calling or just something you did
I coukd be wrong that’s just my experience
My father gad two younger brothers who served im WW !!. The older one, my Uncle Johnny was a Tanker and my Uncle Billy was in the infantry and wound up being one of the Battered Bastards of Bastogne. As fate would have it ,his brother Johnny's Tank Division was one of the divisions that broke thru and relieved them. After the war neither spoke much about their war experiences and both died young, Billy the younger one died in his late forties and Johnny in his mid-fifties
That’s an awesome story. Thanks for sharing
Loved when Dick Winters gave the briefing for the second commando raid and told his men to get a good night's sleep and report back to him that there were no Germans to capture, saving them from losing more men unnecessarily and risking court marshall.
