An-tee-fa? MY Dad in 1945:

[bdjhawk]

31. My Dad was in Regensburg in 1945, too!

We took a family trip to Europe right after I got out of college. We went to the Normandy beaches, American cemetery and then generally followed the route my Dad's Armored division followed through France and Germany. One memory I will never forget was of my Dad standing on a cobblestone street in Regensburg and looking around and saying "I can still hear how loud the tanks were driving over these streets as we came through " and you could see on his face he was envisioning being there in 1945.

Thanks for your photo Dennis and bringing back that memory.

Thanks also to DFW for sharing the neat story of friendship coming out of war.

Thanks to those who posted photos of hero Union soldiers who fought FOR the United States.

Thanks to oneshooter for the cemetery photo to remind us of brave soldiers/anti-fascists who paid the ultimate price. Unbelievable that we are in a day and age where those who claim to be the "most patriotic" Americans have aligned themselves with those who we fought in WWII!
