Has Arch Bailed?
With the tributes and memorials to D-Day occurring in France I'm
wondering if Arch boarded a troop transport and bailed out over Normandy for ol'time's sake. Wouldn't surprise me one bit... (I'm a youngster at 42 and the more I learn about D-Day, the more awestruck I am at the enormity of the whole and touched by the courageousness of each.) |

Has Arch Bailed?
Owen
I have not seen Arch around here in a few weeks - maybe he did go back for the memorials - if so, I offer him and all others who served my heartfelt thanks. We, who came of age between the wars - Viet Nam and Gulf War - can only imagine what it means to serve and fight for the freedom of our fellow citizens. So, I can only say thanks and pray that the people who serve are honored and held in esteem for their sacrifice. Arch - et. al. - Thank you!

Has Arch Bailed?
I am usually a private person and not given to maudlin posts, but I am
uncomfortable allowing a sail under false colors. I hope you all will forgive these personal comments posted to a woodturning forum. I served safely in a stateside military hospital. I owe as much as the rest of you to others who saved us on D-day. Not forgetting the Remagen bridge, the Bulge, N. Africa, S. Asia, Italy and so many more places of sad honor. Also for Brits, Canadians, Aussies and other real heros. The U.S. gave me a lot more than I gave it. My wife was a Navy Nurse, and the GI bill allowed her to return to and graduate from Harvard College and me to finish the Penn. graduate school of medicine. I've been trying to give you guys a bit of a rest, but It's not easy for a COC to refrain from a comment now & then. I couldn't accept unearned accolades, thus this self-serving post, Now let's all get back to what's important: catches, tool marks & gentle fibbing .
