Ok CAG I am guessing Texas, simply because you are from there and you thought up this poll!  |

Hey just because I was tricky on the last poll doesnt mean you have a guaranteed answer by thinking I am tricky on this poll as well!
I try to never be too predictable...

Well Rad,
I see you have fallen into the "CAG's Tricky" trap and it looks like you also selected Texas...
Hmmm...
All I can say is, yes it was an American and not it wasnt a Brit or a Canadian...
But was it a Texan? Only time will tell!

well it wasnt Alabama cause there wasnt a crawdad cookout to be found.
it wasnt California cause they're al wusses
couldent have been NY cause they didnt have taxis
wasnt Texas cause there wasnt any Friday night football
West Virginia? No coal mines on the coast
Missouri isnt on the list because we all know there wasnt any possum on a fire over there.
( have I left anyone un-offended? lol )
I'm gonna pure guess NC _________________ FAF/FA-2 FM Wizard

I fully confess I would never have had the guts to storm the beaches, I have nothing but respect for the Vets who pulled off that miracle <S
Honerable mention goes to the logistics weinies that made it even remotely possible to pull it off. _________________ FAF/FA-2 FM Wizard

That entire generation did amazing things everyday of the war...
My father fought in this same area once the 3rd Army was activated under Patton...
I salute all of those guys, not knowing from one minute to the next if they would live or die in the air, on the ground or in and under the sea... <S>

Well actually I guess you could say the 'first' soldier on the ground would be a German!
But I will make it a bit more specific , what state was the first allied soldier (who just happened to be an American) on the ground on D-Day from?
'Ol Bama... The Crimson Tide! Could be... but then again...
