What about you?

Almost every single Grandfather, Great Grandfather or Great Uncle has been in the Army. Grandpa Strickland was in the Army during Korea. Grandpa Kolkind was in the Guard between Korea and Vietnam and never went overseas. Great Uncle Jim was in the Army, and I do not think he went overseas. Great Grandfathers Vernon Culbert, John Rogoswki and Ben Culbert all were in the Army and served in WWII. John served in New Guinea and Australia. Ben and Vernon were brothers I think, and both if I am not mistaken served in the European Theater. Great Grandpa Whitwam was in WWII in the European Theater. Grandpa Nichols was in the Army and I think he also served in WWII, and if I am not mistaken I do believe my Great Grandpa Kinderman was also in WWII with the Army in Europe. As you can see I have a long line of Grandfathers and Great Uncles who served in the Military in the 40's, 50's and 60's. Grandpa Silbuagh was gay, and I am not exactly sure if he ever served or not. He sure was grumpy for his age, maybe he did. I do not know for sure. Thanks for reading.

WWII D-Day: The Lost Evidence on Youtube

There is a series of 10 videos from a History Channel special reguarding the Lost Evidence of D-Day and WWII. Covering the plans of attack, airborne, glider infantry, and beaches. It tells of the first man and first shots fired in the Invasion. The Videos are listed 1 to 10. The following link is for the 1st video. Under the user who posted the video's GDHouston, you will find the remaining videos. Major Dick Winters is in the series. I just began watching the 2nd video and wanted to post this right away. I heard about these videos from www.majordickwinters.com, and now I would like to direct you to the 1st Video on Youtube. Click Here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SFaC6D_GYu8 - Enjoy!

Stupid People

I have spoken with some idiots in the past who actually said that in the US National Guard the Troops do not get the same training they get in the Regular Army - which is completely false. I know someone in the Guard's Regular Infantry - in which they receive the exact same kind of training the regular Army Infantry receives. Kind of funny how people think that when they are not even in the Army or Guard they think they know what they are talking about.

Everybody knows that the Army wins the War. That is how it goes. Army does all the dirty work. Marines as well. Navy patrols our sea's defending our soil and performs tests of all sorts at sea. Airforce controls the sky's above. The Army, Guard, and the Marines do all the dirty ground work that most people are affraid to do, or would not do - ever - and it is sad. Again, you guys in the Army, Guard and Marines bust your asses for us and we love you for that!

Major Winter's Book

Sorry folks, I have been away. Sick.

I have been reading Major Winter's book and I am halfway through it. I am still suggesting each person buy it, and read it. However with most of these books about BoB are almost the same. What I mean is they all describe the battles almost the same, just in the different perspectives of each man in Easy Company. But each book is a must read.

Thanks for tuning in.
