Bruce L Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 I think its appropriate that we take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by the Greatest Generation on this, the 59th of VE Day. I'm blessed that I will once again be able to share it with my father, Cpl. Robert Lieberman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSU Tiger Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Yes, fifty-nine years ago, the US and it's Allies brought a mad man whose name is still a synonym terror to the end of his rule. Sadly, it took 285,000+ Americans to do it. Well done, boys. Rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 I noticed it wasn't on the evening news. CBS (communist broadcast system) did say a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 smoker Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 VE Day,... 285,000 KIA...if cbs or the rest of the media slanted WWII like today...there wouldn`t be a VE Day or a VJ Day... and we`d be speaking German or Japanese...or Russian for that matter...and that`s right out of the mouths of several WWII Veterans who visit my shop on occasion,my .02,out. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSU Tiger Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Gen. Patton did think we should re-arm the Germans and go after Stalin... He was right. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
