I know you're being sarcastic, but the Normandy invasion happened in 1944.

...and I know you will now edit the header and change it from 1945.

PurpleJ's grandfather stormed the beach after the Allies liberated France. I never said it was during World War II.

While his other 3 grandfathers were working the munitions assembly lines and laying rivets.

I find it interesting that a guy who writes a book about the troops in the middle east rooting from afar is so keen on mocking the service of a poster's grandfather. And for the record, he was a Korea vet. Too young for WW2. But I'm sure he won't mind because he died of MS when I was young. Dick.

Grandpa Yella did storm the beaches of Normandy in 1944. Probably pissed his pants too.

UCLA is the last Pac bball team to make a final 4
