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.
Ah, how well I remember Times Square on VJ Night! My folks drank up my $11 worth of silver dollars, my birthday present, while I sat on the curb and watched the excitement. But, Oh! The hangovers they had the next day!

ReplyDeleteThere are more than a few people today who are roaming the earth because we didn't have to invade Japan to end the war.
ReplyDeleteI am not one of them, however. I'm here because a German sniper had lousy aim.
