Happy 4th of July to everyone! Hope members in the UK are having a nice day as well. I just found the location of my fathers B-17 base in England. It is a long range dream to finish my TC and tour England and visit the places my father did in 1943-45. Best wishes Bob TC4956

True, but also remember that it was the first true world war. England couldn't hold onto us with the French assisting. Remember Admiral de Grasse!! It IS a great thrill to see the original British gun tubes at Yorktown engraved with "Captured at the Capitulation at Yorktown"!!

Just another Wednesday to me...... But then us progressive Australians had Wednesday on your Thursday. See how far ahead we are? AND we're about to again banquish the Brits on the only field of battle that matters..... the Cricket Field

AND both and the US have more TC than they do......
