You know...... those guys are absolutly wonderful.

How could we NOT win with men that have the balls to jump at 80 years of age? Could you imagine them 60 years ago full of piss and vinegar. As Patton said," I actually pity those poor German bastards..."

Man, what did their mommas use to feed these boys when they were babies... "Jack Daniels and oats"? I am a just in awe!!!! Do we have a great country or what? Thank you for protecting us and liberating the world. (shaking his head in amazement)

Thanks for posting these pictures. I know Euro-American Scum will appreciate seeing them.

Although he's a Viet Nam Vet, he parachuted with these guys yesterday. I'm sure he's going to have wonderful stories to tell us. Hopefully he'll have some great pictures for us too.
