Anyone got a few spare swastikas kicking around?

If he's still around, tell him I said thanks!

In case you are familiar with operation "market garden" I was born and spend the first 20 years of my live in that corridor
(In fact, when I moved to the US 20 years ago, the locals still called it that)

Now, I speak a little German, and I don't mind doing it, but I am sure grateful it's was optional
Ray would be 101. Thanks, but we lost him in late 2016. He would talk a lot about his experiences except air to air combat. He was a young man, having enlisted at 17 before hostilities began in Europe, spent all six years of war in service. He turned 23 just after VE Day.

A lot of heavy fighting in your old home area. I'm a history geek. I'd be all over that. Well, after girls and hot rods at age 20. And when I could get army leave. :rolleyes:
