Mary Magdaline her father on D day

What a fine man I thought reading her post. Her father sees his LT catch round and these men they are trying to organize to carry out mission. And her father keeps it glued together ok people what a stud we have get this done , I joke as I’m former airborne infantry but I always have had sense humor. My thoughts airborne just another way to hump a rucksack and weapon after leaving aircraft. But Mary father carried the day and I respect that what a stud. Airborne infantry on DZ LT just got wasted one fine gentleman he figure out we gotta move what a stud.

My wife tells me I take nothing to seriously but vets read this fine daughters post about her father it touched me. And her father carried it thru on D day.

Tell them your experiences and tell them what you think of war and/or military experience, countries where you have served.

One day, they may wish they had asked you all of these questions.
