This Veterans Day I wanted to remember the young pilots who climbed into the big Republic P-47 Thunderbolts and flew them into the teeth of Hitler’s last major gamble in the West.

When the German Ardennes offensive erupted in December 1944, the skies over Belgium were gray and closed. Hitlers counter attack at the Battle of the Bulge broke the backs of the Allies and many were killed, trapped against a massive tanks assault.

Everything changed once the weather broke, the Thunderbolts—already nicknamed “Jugs” for their massive, barrel-shaped bodies—came down from the clouds as the “Flying Tanks.”

They were large, heavily built, and designed to take punishment. Beneath their wings hung bombs and, on many aircraft, rockets; in the nose and wings were eight .50-caliber machine guns.

At treetop height they roared over the snowy roads and forests of the Ardennes, hunting columns of panzers, half-tracks, trucks, and horse-drawn guns that were trying to split the Allied line.​

German soldiers came to dread the sound of that big radial engine and the sudden storm of half-inch bullets and high explosives that followed.

A single pass could shred a convoy or leave tanks burning in the road. Because the work had to be done so low, the pilots flew through dense flak, small-arms fire, and the blast of their own bombs.

Many Thunderbolts returned with holes stitched across the wings and fuselage, control surfaces shredded, or engines coughing. Others never came home at all.

The ground-attack mission was among the most dangerous work of the air war; the price was paid in empty bunks and names that never appeared on the next mission board.

God Bless America and our men and women in uniform. As Lincoln's words resonate accross decades of fighting for liberty having given, "the last full measure of devotion" that Europe and our allies should be kept free of tyrants.

The goal is to find what you have such a passion for, you will endure the challenges, failures and disappointments along the way.

I worked on an international project for 17 years, which required cooperation from 65 other countries, some vehemently t opposed, used every politicsl tool to stop it, but it was too good of an idea for others not to support... make all medical devices safer for patients, especially riskier medical devices. 17 years of travel and billions of lives better off, every time they need any care from any device. From thermometers to peacemakers.

It was passion that kept me from stopping, even during the worst!

@Oceanbreeze473 My heads full off all kinds of looney tunes... 🤣

[Grant Ramaley @FaithTrue]

@spdret25 @Oceanbreeze473 Those were the days. Converting fireworks into ... things louder... made rockets from pinwheel parts stick to spent bottle rocket sticks.

@usuallypregnant The idea of "being ready" .... NOBODY EVER IS.

Its never to late, you will always have enough money. You will 100% run out of time.

@elonmusk Fitting place for Godsizing AI me 🤔 thinks. Just pray lots... Solor winds...and all that??

@farmingandJesus Better not to "Major" in the minors.
He died to save us
Equipped us with all we need to be better and love others as He first love us.

In the grand scheme of things any minor issue that divides brothers and sister is just a MAJOR pain.

@Oceanbreeze473 Live by learning from the mistakes of others...cuts my mistakes by 10% 🤣

@nanahendrix66 Norway stores millions of tonnes of industrial CO2 annually; hoping to prevent climate change. This one Diet-Coke-scale Mentos eruption could have undone all that hard work, turning Rain deer into Sun deer.

@farmingandJesus I wonder how Shadrach, Mechek and Obednego would handle this situ???

I suppose because we are ALL representing Christ down here, in our own unique ways, we should get a statue too!! But according to Paul it would be just a piece, like a leg, ear, foot.... kinda gross...

One of my favorites. Was walking around at night, first time in Singapore, and the laser light show from this famous Hotel Mariana Bay Sands [has a huge park with infinity pool at top] came back to show my wife, Singapore is the safest, cleanest place overseas... possibly TOO safe. Illegal to chew gum without a prescription... no glaring at women, ... friendly people, lots of rules.

So I took my wife to the rooftop at night for the sweeping view and a cool drink to warm our blood.

@elonmusk @Owl_of_Atena @cradrrat Especially what they put there!

[Grant Ramaley @FaithTrue]

@elonmusk @FNSWAYOFFICIAL @grok 26 weeks to 2 years for serious bodily injury assault for a first offense.

[Grant Ramaley @FaithTrue]

@elonmusk @FNSWAYOFFICIAL @grok. Had he violently hit and broke the jaw of someone in anger, how much prison time do people get for assault like that?

[Grant Ramaley @FaithTrue]

@farmingandJesus Yep.. two strikes. And what a hipocrit... attacking pumpkin spice creamer, and hiding this nasty habit! 🤣
