Did you guys see the story about the secret camera in WWII magazine this month?

Just another grim reminder that these fellows are fading away.

War is a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.
Brooke: The book list. Oh I have one of those too. Yes, it keeps growing and ever now and then I must have a book. Finally broke down and bought one the other day. I said, dang it, I'm not waiting any longer and indulged myself. It was a bit pricey because it was old, but...
