They should put a memorial in Arlington for the author and his characters.

Bill Mauldin was the greatest cartoonist for War and won 2 Pulitzer prices. He began his work in the service.
I read them as a kid, and later in life bought one of his books on the immortal grunts "Willie and Joe."
Bill was buried in Arlington in 2003.
In 2010 he was granted a place on an US Stamp along with Willie and Joe. First Class of course, though Willie and Joe probably never got that rank.
