There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Well, I'll comment.
The Greatest Generation. Man, do we owe them a lot. It is easy for us GEEZERS to realize that debt. But, the Millennials have no idea. They are not taught history in school any more. What a shame.

Both my parents contributed to the Greatest generations military effort, as did other family members.
I think it should read: Remember, if you don't know your history, you doomed to repeat it - - - - - -

The first video I saw at OCS was cut from some of what you see here. What we saw, in addition to some of the scenes in the link, was the waters edge at the landing beach, blood red from those who didn't or barely made it ashore. Casualties were so high FDR delayed release of news of the landing for fear of public outcry.

A good remembrance film. Am guessing they do not show this kind of thing in the history classes at school any more.

You're close; it actually is: Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Hi JayBros,

Last year I visited Normandy for the first time. The US came ashore on Omaha Beach at low tide. Of all the beaches to use, Omaha was the largest. It was a terrible killing field.

The debt we owe these men and women can only be repaid one way. To make sure this nation continues to fulfill its purpose and passes down their values to the next generation. That is what they went for. That is what they fought for. That is what they died for. And that is why they had the will to win.
