   Hello Dave, Thanks a bunch for this. Opa is clearly a pleased individual. I especially liked how Marcus dressed up a bit with a tie on, and Eckhard was a tad more casual, but not the least less important. For a grandson, father, and grandfather to experience what was brought to them is most poignant. I had a uncle I never met as he was killed in a crash landing of a B-24 in Belgium. The rest of the crew made it out okay. A Belgian woman unknown to our family erected a stone monument with a bronze plaque honoring my uncle. It stands today. The Europeans were so stoic in their hours of darkness which turned into years. Many are still living today and still honor our nation and our brotherhood of armed services individuals who served to bring about peace in that part of the world. Opa should be proud. In my eyes, he is a hero. God bless him and all of his family. S.

   Hi Dave! I sent it to you - as we made it possible for Opa to ride in a Jeep during this year's Convention here on Lake Tegern in southern Bavaria! Good to see you made it back safe from your Alaska tour! Best regards and let's keep'em rolling! Christian
