This is a little off topic but worth watching.
It'll put a lump in your throat.

Two lumps.

 

the greatest generation.

 

Great history lesson.

 

These are the men -- and all who served -- that we honor on July 4.
Some gave all, and all gave some.

 

Great video! I'm presently reading a book, "Wings and a Ring", about a pilot who was fighting in that area, during that time. It's a pretty good read.

The book is basically a series of letters that Lt. James R. Jones wrote to his fiancé in Houston, Texas. The letters give a first hand account of what it was like over there. I consider it a must read for WWII enthusiast. It's compiled by Rene Palmer Armstrong. I met her and got an autograph copy at the air show/ car show I went to a month ago.

 

You got that right.

 

That was great! Thanks!
