RIP you brave souls. My grandfather fought in Italy because he barely missed being sent on the Normandy mission. He's gone now, and I wish I had been old enough to realize how bad-ass he was when he was alive and talked to him about everything he would be willing to share.Comment

I had an uncle that died some years back that still had shrapnel from being hit while parashooting in. I different breed of men back then. RIP to allComment

My Grandfather was a Marine at that time. He never made it to Normandy or Europe for that matter. He had many Marine friends that did, most didn't return. If I remember right, he got stuck in the Caribbean. Grandad turns 93 in a couple weeks. I am grateful for that nation of men.Fuck you. We're going to Costco.Comment

America is slowly being "Chick-a-fied". Pay attention to most of the commercials on TV. They usually portray the MAN as a stupid bood and the woman as the smart one. That is done for a reason. Kids grow up believing that men are fools and women are the ones to follow. If a boy acts like a man, he is accused of being crude, insensative and a bully. In time, men will cease to exist as we know them. A male does not have to be an asshole to be a man. That is a fact that most people now won't tolerate.Comment

I know I have posted some of these before but figured I may as well do so again, for those interested. The comments below the pics were what my grandmother had written on the back:
My grandfather sent this to my grandmother. (she went by Dovie)
"Dad took this while in China"
"China - Near where Dad's base was."
"Dad took this picture while in China"
"This in Africa on the way to China with his military buddies."
