Thanks Tony for the reminder - though I was aware that today was D Day. My interest has always been the war in the Pacific and since The Battle of the Komandorski Islands in late March 1943 there hasn't been any large actions against the Japanese. Coming up soon and through the fall will be the Battles of Kula Gulf, Vella Gulf, Horaniu, Vella Lavella, Empress Agusta Bay, Cape St George and other actions. All of which took place 70 years ago this year. Meanwhile, the US is putting the finishing touches on a war industry which when finished will So overwhelm the Japanese - and Germans - with gigantic numbers of ships, tanks, planes, arms and materiel as to be staggering. From here on out we will hand our enemies one major defeat after another till we roll them up and defeat them utterly in 1945. D Day (which wasn't even the largest amphibious landing of WWII - Okinawa was) is 70 years ago next year. We're still not ready this year. But next year, simultaneous with the landing on Normandy we will smite the Japanese hard at the Battle of the Phillipine Sea. There will be no stopping us on either front till we stand with our allies in the Japanese and German capitals. With the board's permission I will continue to post reminders of those days. Look for a post on Kula Gulf in early July where we didn't fight as well as the Japanese but still dealt them a substantial blow.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
