My grandfather Edd Harris was a Doughboy in France. He was gassed and survived until 1953 when he passed away from the long term effects of that.

Really great stuff there!

Watch the WW1 combatives film! Awesome! (Not to mention the Push Ball mention! We were doing that into the 90s! I’ve seen some bad injuries playing that game in Ranger Batt! Dislocated shoulders, many unconscious!)

Thanks for that. A buddy I served with couple hours away is serious Polish & his Dad served in the Holy Cross Brygada during WW-II. They take the coupling of this day as American citizens and their homeland's independence REEEEEALLY seriously. It's always a great occasion for a winter-chat between the rover-boys shooting/camping visits.

The Polish people may be the last best friends American patriots have left in this world.

Happy Independence Day to the citizens of Poland.
