BTW, my uncle was 3rd Armored Div (Spearhead). They landed 6/24/44, and fought through the hedgerows that June & July. His unit was caught in a night firefight with Panzers outside of Orleans Aug 14 night - Aug 15 AM. He was the only survivor, lost his right arm. They really were an extraordinaly generation of Americans.

Indeed they were & are, Euro-American Scum. At 22, my Uncle Bill was the 'old man' in his unit.
