While watching yet another DVD about the Normandy invasion I learned of this rather dubious titled group. Most of us were already well aware that Hitler was forced to reduce fitness requirements during the latter part of WWII, but did you know that there was a group of middle-aged men with various stomach ailments that were known as "The Stomach Brigade?"
..well, neither did I, but being a middle-aged man that would fit that category they now have my sympathy! (not really, folks!) I will turn 55 next month and Tagamet has been part of my daily diet for years now...I couldn't really imagine myself on the frontline now, so let's hope out own military never gets that desperate!

Here's a note I got from my buddy this morning, along with three photos. You go girl!

This is our ship leaving Hawaii this morning with our Tigers!!! We are finally on our way home. I am looking so forward to getting their. I hope this last part of our journey goes by fast.
God bless all of you and keep you safe, healthy and happy always.
Received this from Reg this evening. Our condolences go to family and friends. For those very few who DON'T realize who Ronald Speirs is, he is one of the men from Easy Company 101st Airborne Division - The Band of Brothers.

It is with tremendous sadness that I inform the Airborne community of the passing of Ronald Speirs.
You go girl!
