When the Chips are down... A German shepherd husky cross dog, named Chips and his platoon came under fire as they landed on a beach during the US-led invasion of Sicily in July 1943, aptly called Operation Husky. The loyal escaped from his lead and ran towards the enemy machine gun Chips entered the shack and the firing stopped. An enemy soldier then appeared with Chips at his throat, enabling the platoon to push on. Chips was also a sentry at the Casablanca Conference in January 1943, where Churchill and Roosevelt met. The was returned to his family in New York in 1945. He died the next year. (US military working Ayron received the posthumous medal on Chips' behalf) The Dickin Medal is the 'animal Victoria Cross' the 70th presented, was made yesterday at the Churchill War Rooms in London. John Wren, 76, whose father donated Chips to the war effort, said the Dickin Medal, “means a lot” to his family. |

Great post, Bret; brought a tear to my eye. It's an amazing +38F here tonight with a SW Chinook wind at 25 mph. Some of the snow has begun to melt. More snow is forecast for the late weekend.

From the looks of things Those of us REAL GUYS who have just one profile and follow the rules are going to have to stand up and band together against the negative few with a multitude of FAKE PROFILES. Keep our messages positive, without negative attacks and those REAL MEMBERS of OP will stand with us and support us.
