The Doolittle Raid. Epic innovation and risk. I always have a B-25 on display to remind me of his life long pursuit of innovative flight pursuits. That raid was ya tactically small. But it’s strategic impact in WWII was profound. // Battle of the Bulge. Indeed. My cousin was there w 101st. And D-DAY. And Market Garden. He never spoke about any of it. Like so many.

After reading (and tiring) 12 books about Trump during the past few years, I decided to get back to military history. I'm currently reading, "Patton at the Battle of the Bulge." My dad served in that area during the closing months of WWII.
