Thread: D Day

    Day of remembrance for me, not only because of D Day, but because it's also my grandad's birthday; he was in the Pacific though. My other grandad flew over Europe and was shot down though.

    Speaking of this anniversary date of D-DAY check out an online Journal/diary of one of my grandfather's fellow Army Air Corp crewman.

    My grandfather was a bomber pilot during WWII.

    Very interesting read specially go down to June 3rd to the 5th were he mentions something ".....big is about to happen......"

    "The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
