Great stuff Pisis, thanks for posting it. Keep it coming. Always good to get these stories out before they die. Once the stories hit the net, they will be read and remembered. Great thing about the net, stuff bounces around here forever.

Thanks Tim. I agree with you fully. That is also why I make my historical projects about those people. My last - and biggest - one, had 82 pages. I still have to translate it though.

Will keep the stories and pictures coming for sure!

Oh, I'd almost forget. The new movie called Die Fälscher (in English "The Counterfeiters", 2007, The Counterfeiters (film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) ) is based on a true lifestory of Mr. Burger. It was awarded a few prizes and nominated for an Oscar.

I think that your reputation preceeds you, engineer !

Great stuff Pisis, I've never met a real hero type, altho Carlos
Hathcock lived a few blocks up Plaza Trail. I saw him sitting
outside in his wheelchair, enjoying the sun, but I never took
the time to pull over and say hello.

Thanks, guys. I have much more photos of veterans but right now they are on my old PC HDD that is in my old house, far, far away from here... Hope you believe me, I really have them!
