Here's a cool site for everyone:

'D-Day, Normandy and Beyond'
Eyewitness memories of WW 2

http://www.normandy1944.info/index.html

Don't know if anyone's posted this link yet.
But it's worthy of your time to visit.

Lest We Forget

...ps: The stories are from mostly American Veterans, but there's Brit, Canadian, Polish, and Dutch Veterans' stories as well.

For those with strong opinions about weapons in BIA, look for what Veteran Ed Walsh had to say about some of those here - http://www.normandy1944.info/index.html

Thanks for the link dark


"War is hell, but war is also mystery and terror and. In truth war is also beauty. You stare out at tracer rounds unwinding through the dark.The fluid symmetries of troops on the move. The sheets of metal-fire down from a gunship, the illumination rounds, It's astonishing. You hate it,yes, but your eyes do not. Any battle or bombing raid has absolute moral indifference- a powerful beauty. and a true war story will tell the truth about this, though the truth is ugly.
