Re: This was a surprise to me!
I'd be willing to give ANYONE who hit that beach (or DZs) a pass on having a tab or otherwise Some of us think we know what hard is and its obvious "we have NO CLUE". These brave men truly were and are the greatest generation. And when the last one is gone...... we will have lost a part of America we will never get back, God love'em!
