And OUR HERO PFC Max Feld on the left in the PHOTO he was 5' 10" or 6' Tall which was pretty tall for a front line GI I guess that is why the made him a litter bearer. Think of the courage it took to go out on the river bank and get a wounded GI with the German Machine Gunners having such a large target

Big John: Super group! I'm surprised someone hasn't jumped on it. I bet it will be gone by this weekend. BTW, Happy Flag Day and Happy Father's Day. We'll be coming down to visit in December when my grandson graduates from APSU. Stay well 'ol Trooper! Danny
