Right now I'm home but will be leaving out Sunday for a tour of the States LOL
I kinda like my home laptop since it has a 17.5 inch screen - it's old and a bit clunky but I like it.
I have a 17” too...love it!!
New hard drive should help...very cool that you have a techie brother.
A few paragraphs below ‘Spirit of America’s Youth’ it mentions Lt. Gen. (ret.) Walter Woolwine and the Normandy Cemetery. I knew Walter very well and in fact was with him when he died. He told me that when he found out some of the graves were miss-marked, he ordered his men to check every field record against the Army’s death records for every person buried, or in the process of being moved to be buried, at Normandy. There were many miss-marked. He said that when there was a discrepancy, they used the field records. ‘The soldiers who were with them when they died were in a better position to accurately identify the dead’. ‘We owed it to those who died to make sure their headstone were accurate’.
The whole time Walter was at Normandy, he smelled death and he said well into his 90’s, it was a smell that never left him. Very few knew what Walter did at Normandy with the graves and with the design and construction of the cemetery. He left before it was completed and someone else got the credit. I told Walter that he needed to document what he did so he gets credit. He said, ‘I don’t need credit, I just wanted to make sure we got the names right. We owed that to our soldiers’. RIP Walter.
