I was kind of wondering if anyone was going to get to that.

My brother was there but not in first wave. Uncle and cousins in first wave. One was in 101st airborne, captured when he hit the ground. Came home year later weighed 100 lbs. Uncle fought with Patton to Bastonge, froze his feet. My brother never came back.

When I worked for State of Illinois, we got ta new Lead, Lead Worker. He was in 4th wave at Omaha Beach.

One of the guys said of him, "This guy is a Captain Queeg."

He proved it many time over the years I was at Northbrook yard.

He would come into the day room every morning to make a speech.

One time I got up and went to my locker and got the hearing protectors and put them on. The whole place cracked up.

Another time I lifted his keys off his belt and passed then down the line. They went around the table and back to him. LOL

My Dad made it back from the Pacific Theater, Philippines, sort of, not really. He died at a local defense contractor's plant a half mile from my house now, in 1976. I never knew the man until after his death, when I went through the moving barrels of his stuff long after he was gone.

I destroyed most of it. I didn't want my family, now gone, to know what I'd learned. Time marches on...

Maybe the little BLM/Antifa punks can destroy that memorial too.

241 servicemen died that day, 23/Oct/1983 for pretty much nothing. Supposedly more in one day than any day since WWII.

There's a lot of "men" extant that don't want so many unnecessary deaths to mean nothing.

Those men won't try to determine which of the "72 genders" the rioters are when they go to work. It will be loud, unpleasant and hard to stop.

We waited, heard nothing. Thousands died.

I was wondering who was older than I am, I had been thinking about it a couple days ago. I'm from California so my relatives were in the Pacific although I did have a step-father who was wounded in North Africa.

I guess it doesn't matter where you're from, just where you're supposed to die.

I'll do it within less than two hours walking distance of where I was born, most likely.

California has added 32 million people since my brother was born. The place is insane and has crazy immigrant politics. Impossible for me to live there. I miss what it was not what it is. I am waiting for the day when they get hit by multiple earthquakes and a volcano or two. Maybe a dam collapse.

What do you expect me to do now, Dad? I'm pretty much used up. My guns and hundreds of thousands of dollars went to the next generation.

Sorry, OM, I was going to post something relevant, but another scared oldster called, and I lost my train of thought.

Probably didn't matter much, anyway.
