Hello WWII Chat, My name is Hal, and I have been lurking for a few days. 30 years of teaching History HS and JC level. I post on two other sites, primarily ACW and American West topics, but I enjoyed your ability to discuss topics without flame wars. Your Mods seem to have built an excellent site here. I may not post a great deal, but I will continue to enjoy the conversation. op2: Regards, Hal
Welcome to the forum Hal, look forward to your posts. Do Lilac's abound in your area of the states? I am a bit of a North American history buff myself which was instilled in part through the Westerns as a youngster. Similar for WW1 & WW2 I guess! I worked in the Pacific for many years so I have been to many of the islands where your lads fought. Some side by side with the Aussies as well as those also in the Central Pacific. My avatar is a memorial from Betio on Tarawa. Hear from you soon. Cheers Geoff
Except for Kyt who is the most uncivilised person i know. Welcome to the forum Hal. I think you are our first pure bred American?
