    Default Let us never forget

    What happened on an obscure set of beaches 67 years ago.
    D-Day.........

    Tough bastards with balls that clank to try and make it across 1000 feet of open beach weighed down with 70 pounds of gear while trying to dodge German fire that had every inch of beach dialed in.


    to the veterans of D-Day!

    True American hero of the modern times... I had the unique opportunity to serve in Afghanistan in the same Brigade as SFC Monti- the MOH recipient from a few years ago. Gone but never forgotten.

    My wifes grandpa was on the fifth lander to hit the beach. His memory, his account of what happened there makes the shit you see in movies look pathetic. He came away from that beach with "seven new holes that I wasn't born with" as he put it. He was a tough man all the way to the end a few years ago.

    Next door neighbor passed away a few years ago was a D-Day vet. Great guy that I loved having a cup of coffee with and listening to his stories.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    You should make a thread if possible and tell some of the stories if appropriate.
