Subject: RE: Pictures of crops - and thanks for remembering


Driftless SW Wisconsin

Jorn, thank you for the pictures and for remembering the tremendous sacrifices made by many and especially the 8th Air Force in WWII.

I happened to be on a business trip in the Netherlands and Denmark on the 50th anniversary of the liberation of these areas. It was truly a moving experience to see the gratitude of these people, even after 50 years, for the sacrifices made on their behalf.

There was a time in May 1942 where the expected lifetime of an 8th Air force B-17 plane crew was about 2 weeks.  But they went anyway.

We all need to remember that, here in the US too. Anyone who has a chance should tour the 8th Air Force museum at Duxford, England and then go to the Cambridge American Cemetery. You will come out changed.

Your crops look great. 

Jim at Dawn
