I hadn't seen that one before.

Hey Rocky, in answer to your earlier question; no I don't get that mag and I was also unfamiliar with the poem:

M1---Do you get the magazine, "THE BLUE BADGE", CIB mag.

If you do look at the poem, "Old Glory," page 11.

First of 5 verses

Drape me over your coffin

Let me rest in peace

Let the War, the torture

the hurt and pain

Forever decrease. rocky

verses 2,3,4,5

I am "Old Gloty" and for me

You have died.

And now as I cover you

I cover you with pride.

Drape me over your coffin

The red,white and blue

Those are the colors

You did what you had to do.

I am so honored

That you have chosen me

To drape your coffin

For all to see.

I was there from the beginning

Now I am part ofyour past

Drape me over your coffin

YOU ARE HOME AT LAST....

Next years' meeting will be in Branson, Mo. Rocky

The old photographs , I scannes of my many books and I find them on links .

I go often to Normandy .I recognize the places.

But, my husband becomes crazy to do one walk with me .

because it is known when one leaves But He does not know when we will stop

Verow,

These then & now shots are super!

I have been in that area a couple of times and your photos makes me remember them as if I was there yesterday (well, in 1994 not 1944!).
