 | How we won the war I got an e-mail from a gentleman who is a WWII Air Corps and infantry vet. He has some very interesting stories. He has one book out and is working on a second. His website has some samples of the writings that will be part of the second book and is well worth the read. How We Won The War!

 | Some interesting reads in the stories section. I liked the one about the Tommy and the hotel.

| Gee.... and I thought John Wayne won the war ! He did everything from the Flying Tigers to Iwo Jima, with some time in the Navy, too. Charles

| Yeah, the Tommy and the hotel was pretty funny. I read through all of them and thought you guys would enjoy them as much as I did.

| Here were many books, articles, comments and documentary TV programs like a "How We Lost The War" and some are still sticky. Starting the war was wrong. |
