  1. Was standing about 5 yards off to the side, totally distracted, when the 105 howitzer received a fire mission. I don't ever want to do that again.

    A 106 Recoilless Rifle will do that for you also.

  2.  

    My mother told me about this day and listening to the news with horror.

    My Father was a pre-war, Royal Canadian Air Force Regular, stationed at RCAF Station, Rockcliffe, in Ottawa.

    Great Britain, Canada and the rest of what is now the Commonwealth had been at war with Nazi Germany, since September 1939 and the prospect was looking grim.

    He and my Mother had only been married for three months and he was expecting his overseas (British Isles) transfer, momentarily, having just finished his embarkation leave.

    Monday evening, December 8, he returned from the air base and told her "With the Americans now fully in, we just won the war"

    Thank you America for your sacrifices. You helped my Father and most of my uncles to survive.

    Cold Lake, that was a world war. You were either against us or with us. Thank you to all that stood for freedom, what ever uniform they wore, and the folks that back home supported them to the fullest.

    Hitler and Tojo did not have a good plan for those that were conquered.

  3. Well, I still am wondering about the Washington team. I know that there are a lot of rabid Huskie fans here in

    the great Pacific Northwet, but I do not see them playing Alabama.

     

    That said, I do not see any college team beating the tide. Didn't say that I like it, just the way I SEE IT.

     

    But that is why they play the game.
