My paternal Grandfather stormed the beaches of Normandy. My Grandfather never told my brothers or me about his experience. I have a couple stories one from my uncle and the other from my Dad, recently involving the moon landing. But, I think Saving Private Ryan gave us the visual of what that day was probably like. I hope to enjoy your book and documentary.

I thoroughly enjoyed your recap of the day and the excerpt from Essex Dogs... Amazon lists it as sold out, but I'm still investigating the situation.

Super excited to continue the Essex Dogs story - no matter the time or place War is Hell as WTSherman observed and I’m sure their story will be as tense and compelling as any tale of those who put it all out for riches, lands, ideals or even love.

Speaking of such things - just watching Buried: The Knights Templars… episodes on the History channel. Featuring one D Jones Templar historian - think I’ll dive back into that while waiting for the Dogs.

Sounds like a great project! Good luck with it. In America we’re busy trying to put Trumps’ head on a pike.

After a horrible year full of work, I'm thinking about a little vacation away from home, alone. Just Essex Dogs and me.
