Some new news about old stuff.
1. MET PATTON-- May 6th WAFF TV News, Alabama. World War II veteran Robert Boykin was on the Honor Flight to see the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC and talked about his experience. He was at Normandy Beach on D-Day and delivered food and supplies to the front. He served as chauffeur for Eisenhower and General George Patton in Germany.
He is a big fan of Patton and said "Patton was a tough man, good, happy, laughing and partying, and shooting and drinking."
2. CANADA'S BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC-- The May 3rd CBC News reported that Canadian World War II veterans and serving Navy personnel met at St. John's waterfront to commemorate World War II's Battle of the Atlantic. More than 1600 Canadian merchant sailors met the death doing convoy duty.
3. POLISH PRESIDENT DIES-- Lech Kaczynski and another high ranking generals and officials died when their plane crashed while on their way to commemorate the 20,000 Polish officers and potential leaders who were "methodically and deliberately" massacred in 1940 at Katyn Forest under orders of Soviet leader Stalin. Most had bullets fired from behind.
At first, the Soviets put the blame on the Germans.
