They are on the air attack where my neighbor became a POW. When he died 40 years later he still had metal in his legs from wounds recieved.

When he landed they beat the hell out of him and made him walk 10 miles with a broken leg.

Really ironic, my dad who knew him when they were kids helped to liberated the Stalag he was in.

I just labeled it “tedious” but I must admit that the little bomber sequence we just saw was pretty gripping. Those guys not wanting to get into those planes but doing it anyway...um...and some of those planes that got back with everybody on board shot up. Air guys dont get enough appreciation, I think.

We all owe so much to this generation and you can be very proud of your Father.

Saw a movie with WW11 theme; taking place in England. The entire country, like here; backed their soldiers; the war effort. . .made huge sacrifices and sang their anthem. As they did here.

I was struck again, by how far our culture had taken us, from our own roots. . .or rather, how far down, the values of the Lib Left had taken America; so that now our neighbor is politically, our enemy. No more unified fronts. . .shared values, shared 'enemy'. . .common goals. Instead of personal sacrifice; we howl, when gas prices go up.

These realizations were not just new revelations, of course; but did wonder if the younger film-watchers even realized the difference here; or whether they could even appreciate it. Wondered if even their majority, understand altruisim. . . (Hillary and Bill, of course, have surely never entertained an altruistic thought. . .and by turn; they cannot imagine that anyone else has either. . .and hence we see only their shameless 'lust' for power.)

The Left is relentless in it's idiological determination; and all these people share a collective patience, as well. We know it has it's rewards. It was confirmed for us today as we looked on, and watched Ahmadinejad being celebrated at Columbia University; where our Military is not deemed worthy; or our President, for that matter. . .
