JohnnyBlaze Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Just finished this:http://images3.alphacoders.com/149/149665.jpg Excellent! Saw all of The Pacific not too long ago and thought that was really good too.Such an great series! The one soldier, Maj. Dick Winters, retired not far from here in Hershey,Pa. I was stupid not to go see him speak before he passed away.Oh wow. When did he pass away? In the last 5-10 years?Just about five years ago, in 2011. He was supposed to be a great guy, by all accounts. He really didn't like to show up to things that honored him but he would go speak at stuff that honored or helped other veterans.Sounds like an honorable person even well beyond his war time efforts & sacrifices.He must've been at least in his early 90s when he passed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's poignant, any WWII vets still with us are fairly old. We have a close family friend that enlisted right out of high school and he is a frail 93 now. Husband and I grew up in the 70's :codger: and talk about how when we were in high school, many of us or our friends had fathers that were WWII vets with interesting stories and we just didn't realize it. My late father in law served in North Africa in the fight against Rommel but we didn't hear that for many years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the riffing they do on that commercial for The Wiz. "From the director of Batman and Robin!" :rfl: Boyz N The Hood on Starz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 About to watch some Game of Thrones. I'm up to the middle of season 4. There are so many characters I forget most of their names. And even if I do remember, it's not like I can spell most of them. That blonde dragon girl (can't spell her name either) is like candy. And I do like candy.
