As an Airborne officer shouldn't he be carrying a Thompson instead of a M-1?

Photo of statue Capt. Richard Winters unveiled at the Normandy beaches in remembrance of D-Day.

A day to be remembered. Be thankful we are only playing a computerized game as opposed to what ALL the soldiers went through on D-Day.

If I am not mistaken the original use of beacons was to warn of sighting an invasion fleet such as the French or Spanish. Not sure if it goes back to the time of the Saxons.

British composer Thomas Arne (1710–1778) is the composer of the song (first sung in 1745). He also did Rule Britannia. I think I got it right but who knows.

Well we do tend to copy our British friends as in the following examples from YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkQN8Ecm6XM

I am not trying to be offensive but I just do not understand the importance of royalty in a democratic government. If not mistaken she has no political power, is rich as hell yet receives a whole lot of money from the British citizens. Just what the hell are any of them good for? Understand I have a very similar sentiment towards the Catholic Church and how Popes, Cardinals and whatever live such an extravagant life style at the expense of parishioners. I'm sure God must be pleased seeing the Princes of the church behaving no better than the money changers at the temple.

Being blessed as an athelete does not always mean brains are included.

And guests........LOL.

If my ticker procedures go okay next week I will, unfortunately, be in TX soon. Usually try to avoid July and August, I can't stand hot weather. Of course just the thought of going to TX might send my heart out of rhythym again as it did just before my last scheduled trip.

For those who do not know that is an actual Racoon Dick in HXTR's hat image. Known by many names such as Redneck Toothpic or my choice of the moment, Texas Toothpic. Below is a picture of mine:

Best bring your "coon dick" for stabbing. And no, for those who may not know that is NOT a racist comment.

LOL nice one Shamu HXTR could not handle it because the bouncing ball was missing.

A lesson learned about FB. Until the IPO and the publicity about advertisers questioning the value of FB ads I never even knew there were ads on FB. Just never caught my eye. That said I fully understand why advertisers are rethinking advertizing on FB. I can't be the only one who never notices the ads.

Does this qualify? Also understand I think Angus Young is an absolutely awesome guitarist. One of the best ever.

I suspect FB's large percentage drops to stabilize for awhile as bottom feeders move in hoping to profit. Many stocks take a hit after exceptionally bad news but often rebound, even if only a temporary rebound. Often a good time to buy is after a company suffers horrendous news and many investors bail. The trick is deciding who can recover and when to buy in. BP with the Gulph disaster, Exon with the Exon Valdez oil spill, and Dow Chemical with the Bhopal India plant explosion are examples. All took a big hit but there was money to be made as they bottomed out and the bottom feeders started buying in.

None! Absolutely none, I will not be assimilated!

Impressive bit of engineering that I did not think the British were capable of. Something a BMW deserves.

FB continues to tank. And it could get worse since many advertisers are rethinking their positions on FB. I would not touch this stock even with your money, a ten foot pole and gloves. (Which is what brokers do ) Down $3.00 today at $28.84, almost a $10.00 tank.

HooRah!

I hope prayers from this Agnostic count for something with whatever God is truly listening. For what it's worth she will have my prayers.
