...I resent you using my surname as an adjective...

However, I do not have a problem with you "Mucking out" the stables.......

Recently, I finally got a chance to sit down and watch the DVD of the excellent HBO production of "Band of Brothers" and had the chance to see my ancestor, Sgt. Warren "Skip" Muck portrayed in this very well done series.....sadly he does not survive the Battle of the Bulge, but he does our family proud...

Anyone who has not seen this has no real idea idea of what these people suffered on our behalf....I am not ashamed to say I cried when I watched this.

My father has a friend who was in the airborne and loves to tell "war stories"...however, he was a day late and a dollar short when it came to the real thing. these guys lived the real stuff and would rather not bring it up.

That there is NO WWII memorial is a slap in the face to these people..
