OSTATE, thank you for posting this excellent video of a 101 Airborne D-day vet.

Thank you much for that link. Jake McNiece was one of those who put his life on the line for all of us back then. It was great seeing pictures of him taken while he was in Germany.

Note for Firefox users - the browser does not work to see the video, at least mine didn't - had to use the MS Exploder.

These are the kind of heroes we should be honoring today, God Bless him.

I had no problem viewing the video, I started using the palemoon.org browser. Works pretty well so far.

Thanks for the ping to this excellent video. Four combat jumps! And the statement by the German paratrooper at the end of the video is most impressive.
