Good morning Marilyn:
You may have already seen my posting in WBG's Forum, but as I was saying what made this story even more precious was the fact that it was done under such horrendous conditions. Anzio was one of the worst hell holes during the war. There was daily shelling that went on for MONTHS. It's amazing that anyone survived and eventually made their way to Rome. I'm sure the other vets who visit this forum would whole-heartedly agree.
Hey maybe that farmer wasn't as savvy as he claimed to be! 
I think this story will go on to be one of my all time favorites. This one will definitely make it's way into my book!
