Joe and Roque:-
I am sure you both may have heard this story of mine before but bear
with me as I retell it here:-
We had a guy in my Platoon that would argue at the drop of a hat that,
as an agnostic, he could prove there was no such thing as GOD!!
One day after we first got to France there was a flight of P-38s on their
way back to England and we were hunkered down behind one of the
Bocage (hedgerows) in Normandy and they were only about 75 feet+/-
above the ground when they popped over the Bocage and zip were gone!!
Scared the living **** out of us because they were so loud and so low
(to get under the Kraut Radar) that we never heard them coming and
only got a glimpse before they were out of sight.
My friend the agnostic screamed at me "Holy Mother of God Sarge what the
**** was that??".
After we stopped laughing,I yelled over "When you can explain to me how
there is a Holy Mother of God but no God - then I'll tell you what they were!!".
That day a new believer was born I guarantee you and we never let him forget.

Nice to hear from you again Sgtleo. Read you loud and clear. After our first "skirmish" with
Krauts,what did the "Ities"call them? Don't know how to spell the word but something like
this. Tedeschi. Everyone was a firm believer. Roque
