Maxspeed · 12-16-2012, 08:57 AM

Here is the description of what each picture is ( the original photobucket used to show the picture numbers). If you see a black and white picture, it is a then picture with the now picture before it. After a few pictures I started taking the now picture after the black and white.

My wife and I went to Normandy last year, sailed from Paris down the Seine river on a river cruiseship. So much history in France. Brought home 2 pounds of sand from Utah beach. Very powerful experience.

I went metal detecting in th Borshied triangle. Found a pineapple granada. It was defused by some one there and I shipped home the body and brought home the fuse. Found complete Garand enblocs, empty metal machine gun belts, a canteen and lots of other things.
