66 years to the day
« on: June 06, 2010, 02:54:58 AM »
3 million men, 5,000 ships, and 11,000 planes comprised the largest invasion force the world has ever known.   :salute to all those who gave their lives for the future of humanity on that day.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I just started reading E.B. Sledge's "With the Old Breed" His story of Okinawa and Peleliu.

I absolutely can NOT believe that NO ONE is playing The Longest Day, Saving Private Ryan, or even Band of Brothers today. Even History Channel is running a marathon of that waste of airtime Ice Road Truckers instead of any sort of commemorative programming.

This is absolutely absurd.
