Thanks for posting this @Talyn. Today is a solemn day. So many have lost everything for what I often take for granted. I sometimes lose sight of that. Today is a solemn day.

If you have time this documentary on Desmond Doss is worth every minute.

Wrong place to post that.

Should have put it in The Lounge.

Desmond Doss is probably the most famous 7th-day Adventist aside from Ben Carson. He sure made his guardian angels earn their overtime! Stepped on a grenade to save a wounded warrior, and the grenade only slowed him down. Anyone who hasn't watched Hacksaw Ridge needs to stop what you're doing right now and go see it!

Always good to seperate...

1. History vs. Current events.

2. WW2 vs. later conflicts.

It takes the same amount of time to make another seperate post/thread.

There's already a thread in The Lounge to populate with stuff not related to the OP.
