Thanks for the wishes on our national holiday.
A HUGE
to LYNX, who if were in charge of a few regiments 232 years ago...that little temper tantrum called the American Reveloution would certainly had lasted far longer.
I salute all of our UK cousins!
While we might have had a tedious beginning, Britain has been a staunch and loyal ally through thick and thin in many tough times since 1917.
My father-in law was the last trench in Normandy on the American extreme left (1st Army "Bloody Red One"), and the next foxhole over began the British lines. He was Canadian born, but serving in the US Army. Many a time he remembers being in a tough post D-Day scrap with British troops aiding American troops and vice versa. A HUGE
to those men who fought (under different colors) but almost side-by side.
Most folks don't know it, but many UK families took in US servicemen prior to D-DAY as hosts. Maybe those families need to be honored & remembered as well.
Sorry about that temper tantrum, and thank you, our UK cousins.
