gautrek Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 No D Day thread? The only place i have seen with a D Day thread is a yank bike forum i frequent.I am amazed. Is it finally getting to the point where we are moving on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 gautrek, Hardly. The History Channel ran hours on end of D-Day programming, including a new Normandy episode of Color of War. My uncle's unit arrived on D+1 to retrieve the shattered landing craft. Said it was pretty horrific scene, what with all the corpses in the water and at the water's edge. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gautrek Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Oh yes the BBC showed a few hours of programs.But i meant the internet.I remember the last few years and it seemed every forum i went on had a mention.Ditto Pearl Harbour.last year there was hardly any mention of that either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumrox Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 We're saving it all for the 4th of July this year, mate. We're taking our cues from our Dear Leader, Obama. He doesn't like you Brits and now we don't either. Take your Churchill bust back and be glad we don't go all Yorktown on you guys (again). This July 4th, we're going to party like it's 1776. <cue drum and fife> Yankee Doodle went to town... <cue fireworks, waving of flags> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gautrek Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Oh we know that mate as our Queen wasn't invited to the Franco Yank love in on the 6th was she.The only ruler who actually served in WWII didn't get asked but Tom (i starred in a crappy D Day film and thats my only connection to D Day)Hanks did. But we all know Obama is the new messiah don't we so why do you need anyone else present.They are all trying to be the first to shag him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish Bombs Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I was a little dubious of this whole messiah thing, but since they went ahead and renamed Omaha Beach as "Obama Beach", I guess I was wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
