"Here in Normandy, the creaky veterans of D-Day are gathered on the coast. Every heart beats with pride for those who survived. Every eye mists in remembrance of those who didn’t.
The French newspaper, Le Figaro, tells the story of 19 young men from the small town of Bedford, Virginia, who died on Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944.
But what were they doing there? What dog did those Virginia farm boys have in the Europeans’ fight? The Nazis were awful. But so were the Soviets. The Bedford boys may have helped defeat one group of nasty people… but they contributed to the victory of another. And what for? So America’s political elite could throw its weight around on the international stage."
Never forget that the biggest threats to American liberty are in Washington DC.
What was up with that interpretive dance chit? Made me want to look away right away. Who ever came up with that idea needs to be thrown off a tall mountain.
That was the engineer section of the 506 PIR known as "The Dirty thirteen" because they were the biggest fuck ups in the regiment behind the lines. They were also the best fighters in the regiment when at the front, and the guy doing the painting really IS a Native American Warrior. The paint was his Idea . It scared the crap outta' the Krauts---Ray
Amen.
