I won't, my father who is still with us at 93 was one of those guys you see coming off those landing crafts. He went from there to the bowels of Germany and was there when they surrendered. He managed to survive it without serious injury though he did get grazed by bullets a couple of times. They truly were the greatest generation...

^^^ ..and he probly talks about it like no big deal. Tell him the guys from the fishing website thank him!

F__ !, imagine getting "grazed" by a 8 mm mouser. Sheeot! The graze that removes your entire deltoid or trapezius muscle is no bueno!

And other news, the last of the Navajo code talkers from WW2 just past.

Thank your dad for us. He's one of the men who paid for our freedom.

Yep true hero's for sure, my dad served in WW 2 and would tell me stories about it. He passed away 2 years ago at age 97. Can you even imagine what these guys in the pic are thinking about, just moments before they hit the beach just look at them.44301

Please pass on a sincere "Thank you" from my family. He is a true hero and a national treasure.
