Rocky said he couldn't login, so I sent him his login name and re-set his password. I will post this in the interim, but will happily await for him to re-join us again...
I tried to write on the forum but I couldn't get in. So here goes--We,Elizabeth and I, left for Italy April 18 and returned May 3. It was a trip of a lifetime for me. We were met in Rome and Matteo,our guide was ready to start where I wanted to see. MONTE CASSINO. Anzio for starters. Then we went to Verona because on the 23rd,it was liberation day. There was parade and I had to ride in the lead jeep. Was in Rome for Easter Sunday and Monday,seems like there was over a million people there. Lot of interviews. And picture taking. There is an American Barracks of the 102 Airborne in Verona that we went and I talked to them and they want me to go back again. "Just said,"we'll see" So many things happened , And they all said I was a Hero, I told them all--I was no Hero,the Heroes were the one that did not make it back,just go to the American Cemetary and see the crosses there with their names. It was a wonderful trip and I felt better after we left.THIS OLE WW11 VETERAN IS A HAPPY MAN NOW !!!!!!!!!
