  "If You Survive"
Posted by: afc7883 - 06-20-2006, 06:51 PM - Forum: WWII Books & Magazines - No Replies


Not a new book, but a great one! Very gritty, no-nonsense account of Wilson's days as a Lt. and (often) acting company commander from Normandy to Huertgen Forest and beyond. This is one of those books that you don't need to be a military scholar to enjoy. The title came from a promise made to Wilson on his first day in Combat, when his superior officer told him "If you survive this day I'll promote you."

  Red Fridays
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 06-15-2006, 09:49 PM - Forum: Current Events - No Replies


Got this from Chris...

 

Dear Marion. I just received this email and thoughtb there might be a place on the website for it .. I am hoping that it catches on. Chris

 

 

RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority". We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV to reflect our message or our opinions.

 

Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.., Every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear something red.

 

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on.

 

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is...We need your support and your prayers. Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear some thing red every Friday

 

IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON

 

THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED---- SO WEAR RED! --- MAY GOD HELP AMERICA TO BECOME ONE NATION, UNDER GOD. And may there soon be peace! HAVE A GREAT DAY
