THEY "FORGET" THEY TOTALLY SCREW UP, AND MAKE THE SAME SUPID MISTAKES OF THE
PAST, AN WALLAH, BEFORE YOU KNOW THERES ANOTHER G--Damn WAR....
taking a moment to remember,... I am, Doug Anderson, -in NuYawk,
-whose Dad landed on Omaha Beach at dawn, June 7,1944 in a General Sherman
with the 741st Tank Batallion, 2nd Army, and went all through France,through
the Arch De Triumphe on into Belguim,and Checzklovakia, lived through the
terror and cold of "The Bulge", and drove over the Remagen Bridge into
Germany.... (-and you're dam right I'm proud of him... -GOD bless the
soldiers who made the lives we live possible )

Well put Bruce. I find it somewhat disconcerting that there is no mention
of the
significance of this date in the local newspaper, nor has it been mentioned
on
radio news. 10 years ago it was a front-page issue, but times change and it
seems
people forget - or worse- just don't care anymore.
