Quite the accounting for the Dec 7, 41 attacks. Unbelievable that we came back so strong. The Krauts are being pushed back from Stalingrad, the beginning of the end, and its only 1942!

I wish there was a golf story in one of these posts so I could ping the golf ping list. Surely, many FReepers do not know of your excellent work here, HJS!

I stopped posting sports threads after Pearl Harbor. Well, I did cover the New Year's bowl games a few weeks later. But I'm willing to resort to trickery to gain new readers. You can ping them to this thread so they can follow the link below that will take them to the June 13, 1939 sports special where they can read about Byron Nelson's 18-hole playoff to win the U.S. Open. Then, when they see how excellent our WWII threads are they will be hooked!

U.S. Open playoff, June 13, 1939.
