Thanks for the pic. A childhood friend of mine who is retired Navy (after 27 years) sent me an article a few years back that had a recent interview with one of the guys in the pic (I believe those were Army Rangers right before D-Day). It was terrific...Ike was wonderful (even though he graduated dead last in his class at West Point).

Your welcome, Pharmboy - the pic is General Eisenhower addressing members of the 101st Airborne (Screaming Eagles) right before D-Day.

Ike was wonderful (even though he graduated dead last in his class at West Point). Not true. He was 61st out of 164 --- http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/dwight_eisenhower.htm
