I am thankful that my father and all of my uncles were either on Iwo Jima, DDay in Normandy, or flying bombers from Great Britain into Germany. If it wasn't for their efforts and sacrifices we would all be speaking German today. Those guys helped literally save the world. God Bless the USA!! And of course they were following the tradition of those brave men & women who kicked the Brits out of the Colonies.
