What a beautiful day!…

Happy Fathers Day to all the players with children (hope you’ve had the chance to play A&A with them).

Spent five hours playing A&A this Fathers Day with one son and the other son who is living the dream in Colorado sent me this drawing.  He wishes he was here playing as well.  It’s been great to share these games with them over the years and in the years to come.

Here’s hoping for better days ahead.  I’m very sorry to hear of this tragedy and the suffering you all are going through

Thank you for the post.

Remembrance is important, regardless of what “Holiday” your nation has.

When I was a Child I remember going to the Parade every Nov 11th…  Old soldiers would march past, those from WW1 in the lead.  Now there are no WW1 vets in our parade, and the few WW2 vets have taken the lead, followed by those locals who served in Korea / Vietnam / and now those back from Afghanistan.

I take my son and one day he will tell his son how he used to see WW2 vets march past, and remember.

Is the book Hitler Victorious in the same line?  It sounds like it would be…

I found D-Day to be necessary.  Strategically and politically.

@Janus:

isnt it interesting, that in america we celebrate the 4th of july as our independence day, when the actual declaration was signed on the 2nd of august?

The signing of the document was really the anticlimax. It was adopted by congress on July 4th 1776.

They started to sign it on August 2nd but the signing wasn’t compeated until much later, monthes later, if I remember right.

Yeah, I guess DC is a good place to visit if you’re a tourist. But, like Hollywood, you don’t want to live there. :wink:
