If you haven't been there before, a word of caution. When asking for an imported beer, you're as likely to get Budweiser (or any other race car beer) as anything else. _________________ I like old jokes. With them I know when to laugh. |

Interesting. My grandfather was over in Britain. Though he was more one of the officers behind a desk, there was a raid on the building they were in and they had to take up their pistols and defend the building. He received a purple heart, but I was never told where exactly he had been short or injured. _________________ The suspense is killing me. I hope it will last. |

Makes me wish I could have seen the beaches at Okinawa where my father landed with the US Marines in 1945.He was shot in the hip(for which he got his purple heart),but he did manage to do inflict some harm on the enemy before he went down(or so he said).It's been 6 months since he died and I still admire his courage all those years ago. |
