That is one commemoration I'd love to attend. There is a great movie filmed in 1946 called "Theirs Is The Glory" that focuses on the British actions during the battle. It was the first film to be made about this battle, and the biggest grossing war movie for nearly a decade. It is remarkable for it's authenticity, it uses two Panthers, a Tiger I and a Tiger II tank not to mention the fact that the Paras in the film are the actual Paras who fought the battle.
"A Bridge Too Far". I'll be in Ashford, UK then visiting with my daughter, son in-law, and newest granddaughter. Fair winds and soft landings, Mike. RF 1
You will be after that weekend... ;) I wonder if you could do a HALO tandem? All you have to do for that is hang on and not wuss out.
I've jumped before just not with an Army. My "in" for getting schools just vanished in a puff of national guard bullshit.
