I completely agree, completely!

Incidentally, has anyone ever read the late Russell F. Weigley's book, Eisenhower's Lieutenants? (Or am I a day late and a dollar short, as usual?) If you haven't, it is worth every dime you spend on it. For my 10 cents, the best book ever written about D-Day on.

Best wishes,
Fred.
