    D-day: Lest We Forget

    D-day: Lest We Forget – In straight historical perspective, what we are facing today economically is serious and uncomfortable, but it is nowhere near the life‑and‑death reality that young men walked into on the beaches of Normandy. “They stormed a fortified continent for the possibility of a better future; we are being asked to hold…

    Kane & Abel (through chapter ten)

    Stuck on one book, so, out came Kane & Abel. This should make a good addition to Popi’s good reads. There is nothing in this series that should be restrictive. At worst it would get a G rating. This release is the first five chapters.
