"Could still hear the bullets snapping over his head" Was talking to an old timer at the gym & he said he went in on the second wave at Omaha Beach. A few things he talked about his landing : Saving Private Ryan was the most realistic war movie he'd ever seen from his D Day experiences. "The only thing missing was the smells of that day, especially the almost overwhelming smell of cordite." He saw the movie by himself as he was not sure how he'd react. When the pinging of bullets hit his ears, he almost peed in his pants as he did that day. As an aside, he was Patton's secondary driver but was not driving the day of Patton's fatal jeep accident. He said the other vehicle that hit Patton's jeep had no reason to be on the highway that day & "everyone was sure it was no accident".No police report ever made it to light.

Skenes still stands at a ramrod position when the National Anthem is played at Pirates' games & his teammates notice it. Per numerous media stories out of Pittsburg.

The draft was televised & that nite was one of the wildest nites in Thibodaux. Those that were going to go to Nam were all getting wasted & those not going were just as wasted...if not more.

Not sure of any specific dates but a lot of "slave - type " work was done by the 1000's of Chinese immigrants.

After years of voting fraud issues, France went to the old, simple way of voting: one person one paper ballot one person monitoring the placement of the paper ballot into a box. As noted in the stats above, voting is complete, ballots counted, election results announced all in one day. Zero voting issues.

He's generally known to be a good guy but he did live, at times, in a teepee in his back yard in L.A.
