Today is D-Day, the beginning of the end of the NAZI regime that nearly took over the world. Just the Americans lost 6000 men in ONE DAY. We left a lot of them over there in France.
My cousin was wounded on Omaha by a NAZI machine gun. That ended his war. He went into North Africa first and fought Rommel, then they deployed him to England for all that training. He was one of the lucky ones that made it home. You know to this day he refuses to talk about it. I can understand that.
Makes me wonder what all the complaining is about these days. When they went to WAR, it was for the duration. Now it seems it is when the knee jerks back here demand it. Whole new world. One I don't belong in. Hope they don't start going after our proud young men and women in uniform like they did to us in the 60s. I have a feeling it won't go quite there way this time. Keep up the good work troops.
So in respect for those of the Greatest Generation that wouldn't dream of hollering "Hell No We Won't GO" I render you ALL a well deserved SLOW HAND SALUTE.

Erik,
Thanks, and thank you for being such a fine citizen of your adopted country.
I looked at your BLOG and see you know what it is to move here and become an American.
Flying another countries flag while complaining about rules to immigrate is a bit much.
Enjoy
