Did your Uncle Ray survive the war? As a proud member of the 82nd Airborne, (1958-1961) I have studied their History a lot. One book that was recommended reading when I was there is "Those Devils In Baggy Pants." by Ross Carter, One of a hand full of survivors of his original Company.

Much gratitude and honor to all who serve.


Thanks for asking and yes he did survive. Small world, I read Those Devils in Baggy Pants when I was in high school.

You can purchase an incredible DVD using The link above. It is a moving and accurate story of how the awesome power of prayer got us through the terrible time when we were threatened from the East by Hitler and from the west by Japan. It truly was a time when we were one Nation under God, working together, praying together and sacrificing much.

I am a war baby, born in 1940 and I distinctly remember the fervent prayers in Church and elsewhere. I also remember how every Church service ended with a Patriotic song asking for help from the Almighty. I also remember that when the war ended, the men took turns ringing the Church bell all day long.

Now there are few survivors of that war and when interviewed, they often weep for the direction this Country has taken, We fought and died for THIS ?? I weep along with them because we have forgotten the One who blessed this Country so abundantly, from it's very founding and through times when we were severely tested by the forces of evil. We are being tested right now and to tell the t***h, it does not look good for the America that we once knew. How can it look good for our future when SO many people utterly reject the very God who blessed us so abundantly. But I have not given up hope, because there are still people who will stand for the t***h and never ever give up. Some even do so on OPP. God Bless them one and all.

=========================
World War II: D-Day, The Invasion of Normandy 79 years ago.
The D-Day operation of June 6, 1944, brought together the land, air, and sea forces of the allied armies in what became known as the largest amphibious invasion in military history. The operation, given the codename OVERLORD, delivered five naval assault divisions to the beaches of Normandy, France. The beaches were given the code names UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD, JUNO, and SWORD. The invasion force included 7,000 ships and landing.

D-Day Facts and Significance. Most of us were not born yet. But this country's bravest men some of our families had endured the battle for the sake of our freedom till the end. Some of them did not come home! Let us pray and remember our heroes, families, friends who sacrificed during that largest assault of battle in history.

Normandy, final resting place of the American heroes who died to save our liberty." Eternal Rest in Peace Grant unto Them my Lord, and Let Your Perpetual Light Shine Upon Them!". Amen!

The funding for the Socialist-c*******t Party disguised as the "Democrat Party" comes from the Manhattan central bank. Take away their power and the Reds become a mere laughing stock. It can be done and it has been done.

The book should be in every school Library. But of course, I am a bit prejudiced towards Paratroopers, especially the 82nd. My enlistment was up shortly before the 82nd went to Vietnam. I feel very fortunate to have missed it, but do feel a bit of survivors guilt because a part of me says I should have been there with them, I am especially proud to have served with Lawrence Joel who earned the Medal Of Honor in Vietnam. Joel was a career soldier and was my squad leader and friend. It bothers me a lot that his story is not taught to black kids in school because Joel was a black man from Winston Salem N.C. They gave him a ticker tape parade when he came home and named a big Sports arena after him: Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Stadium.. All this for a black man in the South in the sixties. I actually volunteered to tell his story to students during black History month but teachers were not interested.

I also read the book in school. My uncle made it back home from the Pacific (Saipan) and a Great Uncle was in the ETO. He also made it back home from Normandy and later the Bulge.
