Just respect to veterans! GREATEST GENERATION!!!

I would like to recommend renting on Netflix a great movie titled "Everyman's War". This movie was made by Oregon Filmmaker Thad Smith and his screenwriter brother Craig, to honor their father's real-life legacy and involvement in The Battle of The Bulge. This is a small independent movie and one of the very best I've ever had the pleasure of watching. It is the true story of Don Smith, a soldier that served in the 94th Infantry Division in WWII and was wounded during the battle of The Bulge. I liked this movie in particular because the focus was on one man's experience rather than just another movie about the Bulge. I rented it from Netflix,so I don't know if it's available in most DVD rental places, but it's really a GREATmovie! (Nigel gives it two paws up!)

To whom it may concern: Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command and Mucher Citizens inaugurated an American Memorial in Much Germany on August 2008 for the American Soldiers killed in action liberating the community Much from tyranny in World War II on 11 th April 1945. We believe that soldiers from the 97th Infantry Division were KIA liberating our town Much and would like to know their names to honor these fallen American Soldiers. Can you help me in this respect.

There's an old sea story about a ship's Captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad. The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally.

The first mate responded, "Aye, aye sir, I'll see to it immediately!"

The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, "The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear." He continued, "Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowski, and Brown, you change with Schultz........."

THE MORAL OF THE STORY:

Someone may come along and promise "Change", but don't count on things smelling any better.

To all,

Yesterday evening I came back from a 3 day trip to Normandy. I would like to share some pictures with you.
