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
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!).
