Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! 6/6/1944

There was a reason that they were called the greatest generation, surviving depression and a world war then coming home to build our nations to what they become.....

I've had the privilege to speak to many soldiers who fought in WW2, often times they'd open up to me probably because I was a fellow soldier....

Many of them still don't understand why they survived the war when so many didn't......

I've been in combat under fire myself and often thought the same thing....mostly my thoughts were "how the hell did I come through that with no injuries"
 
this is quite amazing - German snipers would not shoot Scottish boy piper because they thought he was mad

Technically one would have to be mad to march into that to begin with but to walk upright into fire playing the pipes is flat out kray kray. :)
When men were men.
