I'm pleased you posted this reminder M1, it seems to have been forgotten in the VJ celebrations.

LOL! Someone had to chime in with that. Oh ya, and it's YOU! :P:P:P

 

Sorry for those who haven't been around for very long...that's our PET PEEVE. There's not only ONE D-Day, there are scores. So when you refer to June 6, 1944, it's D-Day Normandy please!
