@BeschlossDC Makes me think of the scene in The Longest Day with the carrier pigeons on the beach who went the wrong way. "Damned traitors!"
@alexanderarcov2 @BeschlossDC That is cool! I'm writing a book on the POWs in Nebraska during the war - mostly German, but also Italian.
@alexanderarcov2 My grandfather was first generation Italian, too, but didn't serve, though two older brothers did. (neither in Italy)
@BeschlossDC --WW II is ONLY relevant for WHY Democrat FDR supported the Soviets instead of doing what was right for America. Remember Hiss?
@BeschlossDC @JonahNRO First POTUS to stop officially recognizing D-Day: @BarackObama #NoHonor #NoPatriotism #NoTradition
@BeschlossDC @JonahNRO top of the trivial list,but anyone struck by the quality of the penmanship? 1 more DDay example of how I don't cut it
@beschlossdc Carrier pigeon?
@BeschlossDC @jonswaine I suspect the pigeon was far more trustworthy than FOX and CNN put together.
