Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

My usual habit is to scream down the left side of the road at about 80 mph but I guess I'll forego that exhilarating exercise this evening. :)

Aloha, Hawaii...((HUGS))...hope you’ve had some fun visitors today. Calls to/from the states? East coast news?

Sun is just now peeking out here.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, moose...very interesting story. Such a hero!

[DeaconBenjamin]

Great book. Especially good with the series.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good plan...especially after a long day, and in the dark!!

[stanne]

Kathey in Alaska, this is a truly worthy tribute.

any of you who have not read nor seen Band of Brothers, do so. You are in for a, well, a treat, because you will get to know these wonderful guys.

Good evening/morning Kathy,
Watched the Band of Brothers with great interest years ago.
Consequently your thread caught by eye with a bit of a snap.
Always great to find out the human side behind the heroic stories of that era.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did you get to ride, or go for a ride, today? Still raining? Does Linda like walking in the rain?

The photo of Captain Winters was taken in Holland during Market Garden.

Here are some photos I took in 2010 when I followed in the footsteps of Winters and the Band of Brothers. Photos six through eight are of the same archway where Winters’ photo was taken.

The older gentleman is Pvt. Ed Mauser, a member of the 2nd Platoon, Easy Company, who came along on our tour. Sadly, we lost Ed a few months after.
