• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Rick,

Amen! :USA-flag:...

...but I must also give a "shout out" to my mom and dad, Kathy and Gary, who have been married 36 years as of today! :applause:

Happy anniversary mom and dad, and god bless those who found to defend the world from the grips of tyranny.

I always found it mildly humorous that they were married on D-day, they must of realized that marriage sometimes can feel like war.
 
My uncle was 20 or 21 on the 5th of June 1944 and on 6th jumped into Normandy with the 101st Abn Div "Screaming Eagles ". May he RIP and all who gave the ultimate sacrifice. If I recall correctly , he told me he landed right at the edge of the area the Germans had flooded and buried his boots in a foot of mud . It took him 2 or 3 days to find his unit and he shook with fear the entire time he was lost until he got reunited .
