Never heard of Richard Winters before.
The wkipedia link is interesting. The dude parachuted into Nornady on "D-day"
In my book this was one brave soldier. Yeah I know he was doing his job.
But he did survive and went on to complete a successful military career.
His after service business is interesting as well. Who knew that you could make animal feed from Hershey by-products?
I give this a "Yes" vote. But let's wait for a second yes vote before moving forward.
Nice post. Thank you. _________________ I have learned over the years.

I can't believe that you guys haven't met this challenge yet!
I stopped by our community garden yesterday after work to complete the challenge.
Next challenge: Your VW at a golf course. _________________ Where would this hobby be if no one shipped parts.

Foxchase golf club. The parking lot was slammed, but the course was empty.
I think they were all sipping beverages in the club house
Next up-- YVWNT a butterfly bush. They are just starting to flower around here. I always look forward to it every summer as they are one of my favorite plants. |

This is what we call a Butterfly Bush in Virginia. Let me know if it passes, and I'll select the next challenge.

The ones around here are just extended roof handicap vans with the side hacked out & a generator hanging off the back. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

An air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.
Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it. |

C'mon folks, this is an easy one! Your local ice cream store counts as a vendor.
Remember, bonus points if it's a neighborhood ice cream truck. _________________ '65 Sunroof Bug |
