Default RE: For those who love World War Two Fighters

Dear Mirwin
We are all proud of our Father's, my Father was in the Homeguard (England)
during World War Two. He used to work on the land during the day, and out patrolling
with the homeguard during the night. How they managed to cope with that I don't know.
Unfortunately he is no longer with us, hopefully he has gone to a better place.

I can see why you are extremely proud of your Dad.
When we look at these veterans now an see how old and frail they have become.
It is hard to believe that they were once young men.
And the acts of shear bravery they performed on a daily basis,
it beggers believe. They are in my opinion the Bravest of the brave.

Regards Phil G.

PS. I am glad I started this thread, it is bringing forth a wealth of information.
