Let me try to help you on your way : What do you know about those dates in YOUR country ?

That reminds me of a friend who was a tail gunner on a bread truck in Belfast, also a tough job.

In the UK, we were used to seeing a "best before" date on perishable food.In France, this becomes "date limite de consommation" a much stronger statement.Who puts on these dates ? The dairy company...

Is democracy still on life support or dead already ? Who will dare to sign its death certificate ?

Technically, it should be "it", preceded by the "S" for she and an "h" for him.However, how would we pronounce that ?

I didn't realise you were that old. Our family has its small collection of portraits with black ribbons and a few medals here and there, nothing important compared to our American friends.

You Americans always make a point of demanding gratitude for anything you do in your own interest.What needs to be remembered is that you were not alone, not the first ones to fight either. To whom...

Hmmm, I was not aware of that aspect of Muslim traditions. If I understand this well, the Muslims made a sport out of a tolerance ? What would the effect on their numbers have been if the prophet...

It's always important to put things back into perspective. The "Leadership" bit is a bit too much, 80% of the American losses that day were due to the incompetency of their commanding officers,...

Very nice shots. The colours seem tops to me. thank you for sharing.

Well, lets also look at the numbers and leave out the hype. The numbers indicate there were more British/Canadian/Other troops that day than Americans.The naval logistics were predominantly British...

Very impressive images, nicely done.
