The pictures are great!!!! I have an Uncle that fought in WW II. He brought home a Army version of a Harley with the side car. How he got it?? I knew better than to ask too many questions. LOL
He still rides the bike in some parades during the year. He just turned 90 this last week. He is on his third wife. HE has out lived the first two. HE jokes he went with a newer model this time LMAO. She is just 72. So she is 18 years younger. He still rides a cycle in the summer. He did get a lighter Honda cycle for just riding to town and such.
He was in the Army when the war broke out. HE was jump school trainer at the beginning of the war. He then was shipped out to England to help train troops there. He was involved in the "D" day landing but not the first day on the beaches. HE was wounded in the " Battle of the Bulge". He was shot through the meaty part of both legs. He had a field medic fix him up and he fought on through the battle. He shot himself up with Penicillin and did not go to the hospital. He said that is where the guys that died went. LOL He is not a pretty site in shorts.
Twenty years ago he was in an auto accident where a guy hit him. The other driver was all mad because my Uncle did not stop at a green light. (The other driver had run the light red.) The other driver was going to beat up the old man that ruined "HIS" car. The other driver was not hurt in the wreck but he did need the ambulance after he swung at my Uncle. He was 72 at the time the attacker was 35. He still runs/walks five miles three time each week. He is in better shape than I am any more.
