...Tomorrow I'm going up to Conneaut tomorrow to check out a D-Day reenactment that's supposed to be pretty good. Old vintage tanks, P-51 Mustang fighters doing fly byes, and a lot of stuff related to WW2. I'm sure it won't be the same as when Belly stormed the beach in Normandy back in 44' but should be pretty interesting.

A Tojo torpedo sent our troop ship to the bottom. I could only save three of my buddies: Fatty, Stinky, and Brooklyn. They were kind of like you fellas, only one of them was from Brooklyn. Out of the sun came a Tojo Zero and put fitty bullets in my back. The blood attracted sharks. I had to give 'em Fatty. Then things took a turn for the worse. I made it to an island, but it was full of Tojos! They were spitting on the U.S. flag! So I rushed 'em, but it was a trap. They opened fire and blew my shins off. Last thing I remember, I beat 'em all to death with a big piece of Fatty. I woke up in a field hospital, and they were sewing my feet to my knees.
