Greetings all. I am Mike Rhoades, son of Floyd Rhoades, a veteran of WWII serving in the 36th Engineers at Anzio, Normandy and North Africa. I am a Vietnam Infantry vet of the 25th Division at Pleiku, Vietnam. I have recently been trying to get Dad's history from him, and compile a record of his service. Thanks for sharing!

Here's a really decently priced DVD package. It contains 50 classic war movies on 12 DVD's.

Hey Joe: Just got your package this morning. Thank you, thank you for the 4 CD's and the tape. Can't wait to get a chance to listen to them all.

The music is from the 40's and 50's. Eventually I will add many of these tunes to the Jukebox. Ain't life grand?

Thanks, Greatest Generation ll

Where did it go? This country we knew

When our world was red and white and blue.

Wasn’t it clear what was right and wrong?

Didn’t we strive to try to belong

To the legions of those who gave so much?

Where and how did we all lose touch?

When did the arrogant nudge the compassionate

Aside and offer a plan with flash in it?

Words over substance became the way

The new elites would carry the day.

“Tell them you care, and don’t let them know

The machinations going on below.

We’ll rule wisely because we’re blest

With the knowledge of what is best for the rest.

We belong to One World, not the USA.

Ours is a more International way.

With superior intellect we’ll never see

The old fashioned Red State morality.

Sophistication is the modern call.

United Nations over all.â€

But just when we saw our past slip away,

A new Generation, Great in their way,

Stormed the ramparts of Evil Ones.

Fathers, daughters, mothers, sons

Had no trouble defining the truth.

They donned their uniforms, needing no proof

Of what was right for the land they love.

Putting our country’s safety above

What peace and comfort and safety they knew.

Painting us once again red, white and blue.

In von Below´s memoirs in late July 1941 Hitler was very sick for some time and Dr Morell said to von Below that Hitler had suffered probably a minor heart attack (!).

Erich Kempka says in his book that while burning Hitler´s and Eva Braun´s bodies they waited that the fire had gone out and threw more gasoline over the bodies and set them on fire again several times between 2 pm and 7.30 pm...

Also he says that in his peace offer to the allied Himmler said in April 1945 that Hitler had suffered from a brain hemorrhage ( and was not conscious ) and would not live longer than 48 hrs...
