  5. I don't see a Supers thread yet so I guess I'll post this here for our Sunshine state brethren @Gatorubet @gatormarc. Have to root for some underdog and y'all have some orange in your colors too, so go Gata. Who knows? After name dropping last time and getting him a big raise by Perrin, maybe CDC tries to steal your coach !!! (I keed, I keed)
  6. Very cool... Not to derail the thread, but I was in Germany in the spring of '84 for a few weeks and got to fly into Tempelhof in Berlin to do a DZ survey for the airshow jump that was to be done there in West Berlin the following first week of May. It was to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the end of the war. I was replaced in Germany a few days before the airshow, so I didn't get to jump in, but just getting to fly into Tempelhof (and flying over the wall) was a pretty big deal to a WWII history buff like myself. Hats off to ALL of the Greatest Generation. They truly saved the world.
  7. I had gotten out of the service, but these were friends and teammates I served with. They were stationed at Rhein Main in the early 90’s and got to be part of the American service members that participated in one of the reenactment jumps at the Normandy drop zones in 1994. (one of them reposted this pic of them on his FB page 20 years later in 2014) Taken from the DZ after landing. [emoji631][emoji2527][emoji632][emoji1063]
  8. I really liked Stephen Ambrose' D-Day Of course Cornelius Ryan The Longest Day, also... Every Man a Hero by Ray Lambert ( he and his brother both wounded that morning in the first waves) Alex Kershaw's ... The First Wave Can't go wrong with any of these IMO. shoot! forgot the one posted above πŸ‘†The Bedford Boys also by Kershaw.... very sobering.
