Plus, by this point the combined forces of these two (plus the Italians, at least in theory) constituted an ACTUAL threat to the United States.

As opposed to ANY war after WWII, where not a single one of those countries ever were a threat to the US at all.

I wonder what "raciest nazi" Al Gore thinks about fighting Germany in WW2? Whole bunch of great stuff about Ford's God. I knew he was a raciest, nazi loveing hypocrite. but I didn't know he was this bad. Greatest fraud in History of politics.

You're right Nick, about FDR being religious. I forgot that he was a Freemason. I also forgot that he let Japan bomb us, and he took us to war with Germany, a country that never did nothing to us. I stand corrected. Happy Birthday!

If you are going to try and prove a point.... USE CORRECT GRAMMAR!

Fuck. BTW, Roosevelt's top advisors as well as himself had no idea about Pearl Harbor, they all thought an attack was coming but none of them thought Japan had the capability to strike the heart of the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.

And if Britain had fallen all of Europe would have been under Nazi control, leaving Hitler to swing all of his forces east to the Soviet Union, which was also struggling mightly without U.S. aid.

Yes, Roosevelt was trying to AT LEAST get the United States congress, as well as its population to be open to aiding the Allied cause, e.g.

"This nation will remain a neutral nation, but I cannot ask that every American be neutral in thought as well."

But the thought that he was trying to get into a war that he didn't see as imparative to preserving the Democratic way of the Free World is just ludicrous.

Trying to prove a point that isn't there is like trying to teach a blind man to drive. You just cant do it.

So please don't spouting off about shit you can't prove. Try researching please, and if all else fails watch the history channel.

I was wondering how the Hell anyone could be so bat shit insane as yourself and claim to be a "Democrat".

It never occurred to me that you might be a La DOUCHE-ie. Now that explains everything.

Lyndon LaDouche.... the Fred Phelps of politics.

Buried in sand for 58 years, WWII dog tag comes home
Collector returns it to Tennessee family

By KRISTIN M. HALL
Associated Press

HUNTINGDON, Tenn. — The family of Pvt. William Bernice Clark never had a funeral for him, never got to say goodbye and never really accepted his fate among the fallen during the Normandy D-Day landings in World War II.

That was until the young soldier's dog tag, recently discovered in the sands of Omaha Beach in France, was returned to his native Tennessee on Wednesday — exactly 63 years after that tragic day.




"This feels like an ending," said the soldier's first cousin, Lota Park, 79, who along with another cousin accepted the dog tag at a ceremony in the small town of Huntingdon, about 90 miles west of Nashville.

The tag has blackened with age, but his name, identification number, religion (Protestant) and blood type (Type O) are all clearly visible.

It remained out of sight for more than five decades until a collector from England found it five years ago while combing the beach for D-Day artifacts, likely near the very spot where the 20-year-old Clark was killed. The collector gave the dog tag to a World War II buff from New Jersey, who turned it over to the National D-Day Memorial.

"It's in pretty remarkable condition, considering it was buried in the sand for 58 years," said National D-Day Memorial Foundation development director Jeff Fulgham, who presented the tag to Clark's surviving family members.

The D-Day Memorial, based in Bedford, Va., keeps records of nearly every American and Allied soldier killed during the invasion, and it helped locate Clark's family in Huntingdon a couple months ago.

The family has only a few personal effects from Clark: two yellowing photos, a couple of letters during his short service and his Purple Heart. His remains were buried in a cemetery for American soldiers in France.



Collector gives up tag

The New Jersey collector, Bill Santora, said the dog tag was the most cherished piece in his World War II collection, but he was happy to give it up when memorial officials told him it could be returned to his family.

"I always wondered who it was," Santora said. "I feel more connected to the soldier, a little connected to family and I think they are going to be happy to have this memento back."

Relatives, community leaders and veterans gathered Wednesday in Huntingdon at a park that honors area soldiers who have died in war.

"I am reminded that this park is the place where the train carried Pvt. William Clark and other soldiers from Carroll County to war," Fulgham said.

Clark was one of more than 4,000 American and Allied soldiers killed during intense fighting on D-Day, a crucial turning point in the war. The D-Day Memorial is in Bedford, Va., because that town lost 19 soldiers, the highest per capita loss from any single town in the United States.

Clark's name was also recently added to a plaque at the D-Day Memorial.

"When you stand in the middle of that plaza, in the middle of the memorial, you're surrounded by nearly 4,400 names," Fulgham said. "This is one more way we can remember him now that we have a special connection because we had his dog tag.

I didn't.
I'm a history/political science major specializing in the WW2 period. D Day should be honored and remembered every year on the anniversary. So many rip the US on this board, justified and unjustified, so I wanted to post about a time where we did the right thing for the right reason and valor was paramount. We owe so much to so few.

Ok, it's just coincidence that Savage played the prayer on the radio yeaterday...

Imagine having the internet during WWII...

Would it have helped or hurt ??
