JohnnyK I watched Saving Private Ryan last night. The first 20 minutes of the movie are just plain terrifyng. In fact, the first 5 minutes of the film showing those young men in the landing craft was very emotional. Very brave people.

Rob Gronovius A few fellow lieutenants and I visited the D-Day beaches in Normandy during the 45th Anniversary in 1989. Here is one of the pictures of me on top of a gun emplacement at Omaha Beach. I was 25 at the time.

That's the Longues sur Mer battery housing a 155 mm Naval gun. I was there on this last June 5th and will post some pictures up soon. The place was a mad house and heard even more crowded on the 6th.

My guess is bear food.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

But I'm only going to jump out of a perfectly good airplane if I'm pulling a Dave D.B. Cooper...

God, Family, Models...
At the plate: 1/48 Airfix Bf109 & 1/35 Tamiya Famo
On deck: Who knows!
IMO the finest in our history, and one where all gave their most.
Thank them for their service and pause to reflect on the world they saved.
Whether the fight was in Northern France, in the Med, in the Pacific, or at home; every woman and man gave everything they had to defeat tyrrany on that day.
God bless them all.
