Soldier Buried In France

Wife and I were in NZ last year during Remembrance Day. I haven’t seen that much patriotism in this country in years, made me ashamed. Veterans Day is coming, stand up and be counted.

I've visited war cemeteries all over Europe and in Hawaii. The German ones are sad. The British ones are a little better. The French ones are OK. Most of those are scattered and contain relatively few soldiers each. The US ones are quite large and truly phenomenally well-kept.

We and the rest of the free world owe so much to them.

Lest we forget.........

You bring forth an idea not considered.
My Grand Father was killed in WWII in the Battle of Bataan on the Death March… Im quite sure it was a horrible death but I know being my Grand Father he fought them and disobeyed to the end, never giving up the fight! I bet your Grand Father was much the same…
When his remains came home my family had the same choice and my father told me it wasn’t much of one! He is buried in the military cemetery next to his brothers in arms in Tucson Arizona where he was born

Hi Jon,
I saw your post for the .500 NE cases. Are these all brass or are they nickel plated? Hard for me to tell... sorry.
Thanks,
