I'm a sucker for 'real' history. <br /><br />By the way, did you ever read Winston Churchill's memoirs of the 2nd world war? Amazing read. Writes it all in 1st person, and takes you through the leading-up until the cleaning-up, as it were. Lots of fascinating "little things", like how he always climbed up with the pilot when flying places, like a little kid almost.Candlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989678473983518845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-83215836681533607562010-08-02T13:23:37.189-07:002010-08-02T13:23:37.189-07:00Candle, they're real letters as I explained he...Candle, they're real letters as I explained <a href="http://acrazychicken.blogspot.com/2009/11/happy-veterans-day-dad.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

There's a another year's worth of material to go.chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-30910633158682456462010-08-02T13:00:08.281-07:002010-08-02T13:00:08.281-07:00Dude, this is from 1952?
