First Thanks to ALL VETERANS on this solemn day. Living or Dead,they deservr praise.The most difficult operation in the Military is a hostile beachhead landing. It took more guts than I have . I was stationed in Germany during the cold war,a mere 20 years after the war. Upon visiting Paris, I saw some French women placing fresh flowers at the memorial to the U S Soldiers who helped liberate France. The Memorial is an eternal Flame and a brass likeness of the shoulder patch worn at that time.The Patch was called the Flaming Sword I ,too wore this patch. I think of it every time I get angry with the French......Remembering that, like ALL nations and peoples,There are many good ones. I was told not too long ago, that the Flame still burns there in Gay Paree.,right under the Arch de Triomph. Well, thanks Mike , I enjoyed it. Even if the F------ French have forgotten this grand deed . I have not, Your Friend, Roadrunnerrunner
