Memorial Day weekend I went to a party. A 95 year old vet who was part of the invasion at Normandy was there. I took advantage and sat and listened for hours of detailed stories about the experiences he had gone through. He didn't actually land but was a part of getting soldiers there. Amazing how detailed he remembered from such a long time ago.

Wow, I bet that was cool.

I know what you mean. My Father-in-law is a retired SgtMaj USMC. He's 92 and has stories of the Pacific and Korea.

Days that we wish away.
We carry on in remembrance of those who have sacrificed
Forever grateful, to love in freedom
Hold the hand of a hero and pray
Your day never comes

My uncle passed here in April. He hit Omaha on D+3 and was part of Patton's 3rd Army. He along with my dad and other uncle were their own personal "Band of Brothers" as all 3 served in Europe. RIP EJG, RHG, and RHG and thank you.

One of the books I'm reading now is a management book based on Patton's writings. There are LOTS of very applicable ideas that still have merit.
