I’ve held off writing an obituary for George Smith because I wasn’t sure that the obituary friends pointed to was truly of him. But David Boaz has convinced me that it was. I had lost touch with George and so I didn’t know that he had moved to Bloomington, Illinois.

David Boaz’s obituary of George is an excellent summing up of George’s many contributions to liberty and to good thinking. So I won’t try to replicate it.

George H. Smith, Jr. was a private in the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne. He participated in many battles, from the Battle of Normandy, through Operation Market Garden and the Battle of Bastogne and Foy, to Haguenau and into Germany.

World War II[]

George Smith was in the same platoon as Richard Winters. He began training at Camp Toccoa, which included running up the Currahee Mountain. The training continued at Camp Mackall, from where he would head to Aldbourne in England for his next assignment.

Smith later moved to Upottery, England, where he would participate in the Invasion of Normandy. He was in the same airplane group as 1st Lieutenant Winters. Before takeoff, Eugene "Doc" Roe gave the paratroopers airsickness pills. Smith and the others were then helped up from the ground by Winters, and they boarded his C-47 and took off to the sky.
