Happy VJ Day.

Carteach said...: I liked the airborne picture of the Normandy beach invasion. What a massive undertaking! It's hard to imagine what it would be like to organize something like that, if 'organize' is the right word.; 7:50 AM, August 15, 2007

I am not one of them, however. I'm here because a German sniper had lousy aim.; 9:44 AM, August 15, 2007

Lotsa kissin' goin' on, that night.
