    This is super cool!

    Be sure and click on these D-Day pics. I bet I clicked back and forth on each pic a bazillion times.

    Neat pics Jimmy! My Uncle Pete was a first sergeant, he was on his way across the channel for the landing but his ship got hit in the rudder by another boat and was towed back for repairs. Probably saved his life, he landed the following day.

    I did the same thing, funny how little some things change even after 70 years.
    Thanks
    The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me

    Wow!!!
    Glad you found and posted that link.
    Very cool to see the difference in the way things look over there now vs then.
    Like JB said, some have changed very little, and some quite a bit.
