Marion, the above sounds great and I'm sure you will have a good time . It just seems to me that once again Husky, a far more important invasion has been forgotton. The 70th anniversary of the 'return to europe' as it was labelled in 1943 looks like it is not going to get the recognition it deserves, I approached my MP (member of parliament) and the Ministry of Defence UK without finding any official interest. I wonder if it is the same in the USA from whence came the US 7th Army under Gen Patton to play their part in the reduction of the island of Sicily. It may seem paranoid of me to raise this, but it has filled almost the last ten years of my life in an effort to get Husky remembered.
Your friend,
Colin.
