I was in my back yard trying to launch a kite.

I threw the kite up in the air, the wind would catch it for a few

seconds, then it would come crashing back down to earth.

I tried this a few more times with no success.

All the while, my wife is watching from the kitchen window muttering to herself how men need to be told how to do everything.

She opens the window and yelled to me,

'You need a piece of tail.'

I turned with a confused look on my face and said,

'Make up your mind. Last night, you told me to go fly a kite.'

95-Year-Old Vet Finds Out He's Not a U.S. Citizen

An internet friend just released his book. He had written to me months ago and...

Hi

 

I am co-authoring a book on the battles for the Gustav line and was wanting to ask your permission to use some of Al Kincer's (?) material on the link-up between II Corps and VI Corps.

 

Cheers

Happy Birthday Christoph!

We got to welcome you to the forum a few days ago, and now we get to send birthday greetings your way!

Hello,

I just wanted to say hello and take a moment to introduce myself. I am the proud grand-daughter of both a Combat Engineer - Alfred J. LeBlanc (106th Infantry Division, 424th Infantry Regiment - 16th Engineer Battallion, Company C), and a Paratrooper - Harry J. Bennett (101st Airborne, 502nd Infantry Regiment). I just started to really look around to the whole site, and find out many resources available. I am in pursuit of any information of my grandfather Alfred J. LeBlanc - I currently have a posting in the " Search, Research, & Preservation" section, sub section - "Looking For...". He didn't talk often about being in the war, but the few stories were of the Battle of the Buldge. Another story (funny one), just remembering now, was of him driving the jeep with a buddy, they apparently had to pick up Gen. Patton, they were both yelled at by Gen Patton for not having their neckties (or something to that affect) correctly tied and placed. He always got a chuckle of that one, saying it was funny currently, but they were both humbled at the time. Anyway...This seems like a great website, with great members. Thanks Marion so far for the research suggestions. I am looking fowarded to chatting with other members, and to move foward in my research. Thanks.
