Man, I remember that day!
From doing some research into my father-in-law's wounding on August 11, 1944 near Vire, France, I've renewed my interest in WWI reading and videos. What that generation went through to protect our freedom is appalling.
Right now I'm reading Challenge for the Pacific: Guadalcanal: The Turning Point of the War" by Robert Leckie. What a great first-hand account.
