    C.,
    And guess what my father in law was talking about to the very end? If you answered "WWII" you are correct. His loss is keenly felt by all in the family.

    Hi Jeff, he must have been a great person to know. Also thinking of an important time as WWII is something to also be admired for. My uncle "Bud" did the same. Bud was in the 101st @ Bastogne.

    Take care Jeff and my highest regards to you and your family.

    Hi Fried, I completely forgot to watch it. I only saw the first ha

    lf of it when some friends and I got together to celebrate Tom (aka) as mr. spend-when he bought a $4,000 Plasma TV with Bose surround system. Anyway-I have the DvD but forgot I do have it.

    Yesterday though, I did watch Valkyrie-which even with tommie boy cruise in it-was actually a well made movie and as a collector-I was quite pleased to ee that their Costumers did a great job. I only spotted one discrepancy-which happened to be dealing with one of the Female Signals Helferin ;-))

    I thought the movie was alright. I agree with everyone it was kinda hollywood-ish. A Few historical inaccuracies but some pretty cool dog fights. However I did like the scene where he recues his buddy in the middle of no mans land, i thought atleast that was done well. Also from the little research I have done there was one French African pilot in a unit like that which is pretty cool.
