I can imagine. It was about 81 or 82, when I started getting REALLY interested in WW2, and the surrounding events. It all seemed so far back in time to a teenager.
Morning Aeronaut.
LOL! Like the last one and the first one is almost too close to the truth.
Morning E.G.C.
Foggy and cold here this morning.
Morning GailA.
I'm guessing houses in Memphis aren't built with cold weather in mind.
Good Morning, Samwise. Starting a snowball fight?
I remember those days and don't miss them at all
I guess he played "While my bango gently weeps"?
I think you're correct. The Brits used E-Boat.
Morning Feather.
Morning PE.
A good Poster to remind folks, Don't mess with the US
Thanks for sharing this news story with us, brityank.
You have to admire Allan Andrade's determination.
Well, I kind of grew up with it. I was a dependent in Germany and France in 1949 til 1951. My father and most of my uncles were in it. In 1949 you could still see all the damage all over Europe. My father took us to Bastone and where the 6th Armored Division fought so hard. We went into one town in Belgium and the locals recognized him. The whole town just turned out and our money was no good. After having a meal we went to get our car and it was gone. We looked down the street and about ten or more people were washing it for us. Somewhere I have a photograpth of me at about 6 years old sitting in "COL" Abrams lap at that time.

Thanks Jen, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I was looking through this morning edition of the Daily Oklahoman and came across some idiot who wrote in his letter that "this is a nation of laws, not a nation of man or g-ds". As though the laws of goverment are superior to the laws of christianity.
Well, I know for a fact that nations, commmunities and the like run by people with this kind of mindet wound up becoming third world ruins as a result.
This is whether anyone wants to believe it or not a christian nation and there is no separation of church and state just because someone says there is. This fella ovviously has no idea whatsoever of how this nation came into being.
People of this kind should be defeated, not gottne along with.
It's been cold this morning. Been having a little bit of trouble getting our car started. Supposed to warm up next week into the 50's.
How's it going, Snippy?
Merry Christmas,tomkow6.
How's the Chicago area doing weather wise? I hear Indiana has been hit pretty bad.
Morning Mayor.
Where's the ACLU when you need it? < /sarcasm>
An incident lost in the final days of the war and of course buried by the Soviets.
