[QUOTE="feejer222, post: 219257, member: 4611"] please don't shoot lads, I am English and don't understand the Jane Fonda bit, what did she do? My dad was in a Sherman in the 8th army. He was in Africa and Italy eventually involved in the battle for Cassino. Wouldnt tell much about it, but although he is no longer here, he will always be my number one hero. Our first journey abroad on the FJR will be to France next year all being well. It will be to visit my uncle who was killed at Dunkirk and is burried in a war cemetery there. Dad always wanted to go but never made it. In the UK there seems to be less enthusiasm (if thats the right word) for remembering our vet's. My dad never wanted a fuss making, and felt that what was done was done. Probably just very English. It has always struck me that we should make more of the people to whom we owe so much. I have never been in the military, but like most lads have always wondered what it would be like to be in a battle. The older I get the more horrific it seems. The phrase ''fix bayonets'' must have been enough to make you feel sick to the stomach. I am grateful and point out to my kids that they should be. In the melay of everyday modern life, we must never, ever forget. [/QUOTE]
