Lest we forget. Ike always felt kenly his disappointed in never having faced combat. But there is no doubting his courage. While in North Africa, he flew over the battlefield iin a light plane, armed with a pistol. H was an excellent shot, by the way, having been taught by a local woodsman he knew as a teenager. No an olympic quality shot like Patton, but he knew how to use a pistol. If General Andrews had not been killed, he rather than Eisenhower might have been name Supreme Commander, since they had to same skill sets. But how would Andrews have decided just before D-day.
Thank you for that note about Eisenhower.
