(Obama Barricading the WWII Memorial to prevent arriving old veterans their last chance in a lifetime to honor and remember.)

... At 0145, the second platoon of F Company, 505th, had the bad luck of jumping right over the town (St Mere Eglise, France), where the German garrison was fully alerted.

Ken Russell was in that stick. "Coming down," he recalled, "I looked to my right and I saw this guy, and instantaneously he was blown away. There was just an empty parachute comeing down." Evidently a shell had hit his Gammoon Grenades.

Horrified, Russell looked to his left. he saw another member of his stick, Pvt. Charles Blankenship, being drawn into the fire (the fire was sucking in oxygen and drqwing the parachutitst toward it). "I heard him scream once, then again before he hit the fire, and he didn't scream anymore."

The Germans filled the sky with tracers. Russel was trying "to hide behind my reserve chute because we were all sitting ducks." He got hit in the hand. He saw Lt. Harld Cadish and Pvts. H. T. Bryant and Ladislaw Tlapa land on telephone poles around the church square. Ther Germans shot them before they could cut themselves loose. "It was like they were crucified there."

Pvt Penrose Shearer landed in a tree opposite the church and was killed while hanging there. Pvt. John Blanchard, also up in a tree, managed to get his trench knife out and cut his risers. In the process he cut one of his fingers off" and didn't even know it until later."

Russell jerked on his risers to avoid he fire and came downn on the slate roof of the church. "I hit and a couple of my suspension line went around the church steeple and I slid off the roof." He was hanging off the edge, "And Steele, [Pvt.] John Steele, whom you've head a lot about [in the book and movie The Longest Day], he came down and his chute covered the steeple." Steele was hit in the foot.

Sgt. John Ray landed in the church square, just past Russell and Steele. A German soldier came around the corner. "I'll never forget him," Russell related. "He was red-haired, and as he came around he shot Sergeant Ray in the stomach." Then he turned toward Russell and Steele and brought his machhine pistol up to shoot them. "And Sergeant Ray, while he was dying in agony, he got his .45 out and he shot the German soldier in the back of the head and killed him."

The through all this the church bell was constantly ringing.

#6 And now our nation commander in chief is a guy that by all accounts gamed the system using his father's nationality to gain foreign status to enter college, has never really loved America, associated with known terrorists, hates veterans, surrendered his law license to avoid prosecution, and is a race bating hater. I now know how the thousands of Germans living outside the cities felt as they watch Hitler come to power. So what will be the first group he rounds up??? My guess is the Tea Party or vets...

#7 O wishes to provoke insurrection or at least he will call it that. No compromise. Pokes his finger in the eye of America. Crisis to afford him the opportunity to declare martial law. His intension all along. He is a castro, chavez wanna be. He wants more time. Eight years is not enough time for his kind of hope and change.

#8 Agree. Champ is trying to provoke a confrontation.
