I’m glad he made it back. I hope you were able to talk to him about it.
I was able to talk to my grandfather about the Pacific part as a navy officer but never got a chance to talk to his brothers or brother in laws including pilots. One brother was in both wars in the army I and 11 and was in Europe. I don’t know where it was but they said it was so bad we don’t talk about it. Then inlaaww like you Marines.
I do wonder about the Korean War no one talks about. Those soilders get little attention.
My uncle Laurey was a WW II Glider Pilot US Army. In the years 1942-1945 the rank of Flight Officer was established for Glider Pilots. Similar to that of a Warrant Officer.
Most of us remember particularly the part we’re soilders parachutes get stuck on the church and becoming sitting ducks.
Here’s the story of that soilder who was captured by the Germans and escaped to join his troops.
The story you don’t know is the seasoned soilder that while dying from his wounds shot the Germans who were going to kill them.
He tells of how the weather caused them to land in the wrong place and how some landed in a burning barn the Germans set afire.
How he and another owed his life to this soilder.
Ps Ray didn’t die that day and it took awhile to get his right date. He died 8 days later from his wounds and gangrene. His wife didn’t even know. To make it worse some shirt denied his fathers request to send him home to me next to his wife and Rays mother. https://www.houmatoday.com/entertainment/20081019/widow-tells-story-of-late-husbands-heroic-deed
I remember Black-outs,no lights allowed.Black shades required on windows.Car headlights half painted black..Ration stamps needed to buy Coffee,Sugar,Bacon…Air RAIDS with Searchlights looking for planes ..Submarines spotted off the NJ coast where I lived at the time.Even a German Spy had rented a room at a relatives house and was taken away after it was disclosed he was sending short wave messages to Germany..
I was a child during the WAR but have vivid memory s of what was going on.Had two uncles in the war,both survived.
Tomorrow will be a huge down day for stocks and a huge up day for gold–in fact, we may never again see these prices for gold and silver stocks again in our lifetimes…without going into the 173 macro reasons why gold should be much higher than it is, I will share with you the 3 “diagnostic clues” that give me confidence to make this prediction–the only caveat is that some tariff resolution nonsense doesn’t occur…
Good thinking. Im really worried about the clueless voting for Biden and then thinking everything Trump did will stay the same. They will make it a priority to undo everyone they do.I hope they keep the Senate and take back the house and get laws in because executive orders can be undone later. Calif is overwhelmed with immigrants and propaganda to young in populated cities but the other states have a chance to get them in if they back Trump. I they don’t then we’re gonna crash and burn the only way they’ll learn.
employed=silver beaten down–gold stocks.etfs all smashed around 10am, giving up sizable gains–we had 2 solid, normal days…but this rally will roll over unless we start getting normal days…a weak jobs report tomorrow is no guarantee of big gains for gold…it is what it is…we wait and watch in disgust…
A certain cynicism is highly recommended but the precious metals have sure been strong lately. Probably much of the PM share selling is shell shocked stockholders seeing any little bounce as an opportunity to sell. This source will exhaust itself.
We were buying from THEM for 50 years, now they have to buy from the USA for the next 50 years.
We gave ourselves a bunch of rules and regulations and higher taxes to create artificial jobs, and more tax absorber jobs. Now it’s THEIR turn. This is all very simple crap, like 2+2=4.
THEY had all good years 1945 to 2008. The USA had 40 declining years after 1970 culminating with the 2008 financial crisis.
Right after the melt down and Bernie Madoff I told everybody, everything is now in REVERSE. If you were getting away with something (person, business or gov’t) for a very long time, quit now before you get caught.
Well, too many didn’t “quit” on their own. Bad happy fun old habits are hard to quit. Sorry China, sorry all you corporations that moved over there to avoid US taxes and employers.
should have put a 10 billion penalty in after a deal was negotiated but BEFORE it was disclosed, if they backed out !
Its done all the time in corporate deals.NOW all he can do is say to them ,its gonna cost you if I get reelected ! Ya better close the deal before election day !
ALL this shit started when BIDEN told China Wait until the US ELECTION for a TRADE DEAL .. Ill get you a better deal ….Yeah better for China ! BIDEN would sell us out to stop Trump getting credits..and Elected .
Same with KERRY telling IRAN “support BIDEN w’ll get you a better deal ” A clear violation of US LAW against foreign interference in US elections YET NO one charges them !
Traitors both of them !and their Democratic cohorts.
Trump had a deal done with CHINA then BIDEN called on them and China backed out of a negotiated deal…!
The dollars down .406-below 97–jobs report will be a disaster-looks like yesterday was an EXTREME shakeout…crypto-coins down again-FED rate cuts-gold should be fairly subdued ahead of the jobs report–only problem is that even the most disappointing report has often seen gold pop then 20 minutes later totally reverse the gain…now that I’ve properly jinxed gold…snort! It’s all in the algos…until they’re overwhelmed…
