I’m continuing a blog on most days until mid 2025 following my father’s exploits and adventures during WWII. Each blog will represent what he and the men with whom he was fighting were doing 80 years ago on the exact day of the blog. Below are links to last month’s blogs:

First of all, here are my two blogs for Veteran’s Day. They were two of my most read blogs from the last month:
