D-Day

Does anyone remember the thousands of men who left it all on line to liberate Europe from Nazi control? I think we should kneel for that... remember your past.... it’s June 6... Wtf?

The greatest generation.

Hand salute.

[Steel Wheels]

I don’t think we could do it again. The sacrifice was amazing... I agree, the greatest generation, that is hard to argue... we need one more ...

Always buy American, ( unless it’s a hot Asian chic), I haven’t ever done that... I am curious

Back in those days, we sent 18 year olds to kick ass and die for their country.

Now, 18 year olds were given crayons by their colleges and universities to cope with Hillary losing the 2016 presidential election. Now, kids are eating Tide pods.

Life today is about instant gratification. A lot of the newer generation don’t have the discipline, integrity, tenacity, courage and the ability to work hard.

I think everyone’s life matters... I don’t care if you are spotted like a flathead catfish, I’m not a doctor, either ... definitely eat the fish, yellow cats are delicious , btw , it’s the same fish

There are almost 9,400 men buried at Normandy, with more than 1,500 mia, we should be ashamed

[Steel Wheels]

We should kneel for that... check out the wwII museum in New Orleans

[Steel Wheels]

That doesn’t count the wounded...

The World War II Museum is awesome. An appropriate place for the museum as the Higgins boat used for the amphibious landing were made in New Orleans.

It is ironic that the Army was used for this type of assault and not the Marines. However, the Marines were in the Pacific Theater while the Army was in the European Theater.

Don’t forget to check out the Holocaust Memorial in the French Quarter.

Six American divisions, the 1st (Big Red One) , the 29th (Blue and Gray) at Omaha Beach,
The Fourth (IV) and the 90th (TO) at Utah, plus the 101st and the 82nd airborne divisions, plus a battalion of U.S. Rangers to scale the cliffs at Point Du Hoc, that doesn’t even mention the Navy, those boys were giving it hell trying to help .
We should kneel

Checked out the beginning of Saving Private Ryan today.

Don't sell short the 18 year olds in the military. The way we've been grounding our troops in the ground with multiple tours, I know they stand up to the challenge. As unfair as it is to do this to them.

Read everything Steven Ambrose has written if you are interested

I think the Marines may have used Higgins Boats early in the war, maybe Guadalcanal, technology just improved. I think Higgin’s Boats were commercially designed for logging timber, I may be mistaken

I have done that and so far the best I ever had. I got no rest in 3 hours. She gave new meaning to the word Bangkok.
