Tommy, I just now got to read this. An excellent delivery of a left hook under the ribs followed by a right cross to the temple.My uncle was one of those who landed on Omaha beach. Even before they got off the boats, many of them were cut in half by machine gun fire. He said that he didn't think he was going to live on past that day. One has to remember that a lot of those who made the ultimate sacrifice was only about 20 years old. Some were much older and some were younger. One has to look at the battle scenes photos, films and movies to realize the fear that they must of had. Fortunately my uncle got on the beach without getting hit although another tragedy lie before him. It was called Dachau. He said that many of those who arrived at the slave labor camp, with 4 years of combat under their belt, could do nothing but stare and cry. They could not even give them chocolate bars or part of their rations due to the fact that many would die if they ingested a lot of food immediately. Let us pray that this never happens again in this eroding conditions that overseas and here in the states that we may have to endure
