Hmm. If it's an older game I can probably get it cheap at Game Stop. Thanks Homie!

There's actually 3 of them now. I've only played the first 2. I believe the first one is at least 5 years old though.

But, back on topic!
I'd like to go to Europe too. The Band of Brothers tour would be awesome.
Would also like to go to Australia.
So, basically all the places that have been mentioned.

Next time I go traveling it will be to check out only battleships and specific war sites....
Strictly business, even on vacation I'm still doing business. LOL!!

They're ranks are thinning out and they're getting older everyday, but the BOB tour usually consists of one of the Easy Co. guys from the 101st. I'd love to meet Wild Bill Guarnere.

Sweet, didn't know that. It would be more awesome than I thought! Does Dick Winters give any of the tours? He lives in Hershey, I'm less than an hour from there. I think it'd be awesome to meet any of them actually.

At the beginning of 2009, I went to Israel for about 2 weeks and also took a day trip to Egypt. I much prefer to travel outside the U.S., but would love to visit all or most of the States one day.

Major Winters was in poor health last I heard. He used to do signings and appearances but he's too old now and keeps private.

Damn. As you mentioned, their ranks are thinning. I read somewhere that there's an insane amount of WWII vets that die everyday.
It's something like a couple hundred, maybe even as much as a thousand.

Yea, it's very sad. Far too many of them never got to see (or even know about) the WWII memorial in D.C. My Grandfather being one of them.

My great-uncle Marion and great-uncle Charlie didn't either.

Same with my Grandfather. He was actually in the 101st. Got injured at the Battle of the Bulge. Not sure what company he was in, but he was part of a mortar crew.
