RIP Darrell "Shifty" Powers

A genuine war hero, an average man that represented the best America had to offer in her greatest time of need. No big record deals, no screaming fans, no over priced house, just an ordinary man that lived through an extraordinary experience.

Shifty died on June 17 after fighting cancer.

There was no parade.

No big event in Staples Center.

No wall to wall back to back 24x7 news coverage.

No weeping fans on television.
