[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 13571314, member: 10303"] Sorry for the loss of a member of "The Greatest Generation" I met quite a few of them while touring the Normandy beaches a couple of decades ago. The stories they were telling were so matter of fact. " I lay in the surf behind the bodies of ten guys that I had tried to come ashore with. As the day went on I was finally able to creep up the beach and plant my explosives under the machine gun nest so the rest of the guys were able to advance" It was told like this is what I did today because I had to and it was my job. And the guys that were in bombers like your grandad had a lousy rate of survival. But they took off every day and completed their missions. Salute. I hope that all the men and women in the sandbox are remembered the same way in 70 years. [/QUOTE]
