Today’s “Jump into the Fight” photo features members of Easy Company’s First Platoon staged to repel an attack, all for the Atlanta Constitution Journal newspaper photographer that had been covering the 2ndBattalion’s march from Toccoa to Atlanta. 🧵/1

@claudiavz Ik zou eerder zeggen: een farce. Maar dat kenmerkt nmm zo’n beetje de hele VN tegenwoordig.

Nederland steunt nominatie Iran om zitting te nemen in VN-commissie die beleid gaat vormgeven mbt mensenrechten, vrouwenrechten, ontwapening en terrorisme-preventie. Een bloody shame!

SHAME: The Islamic Republic of Iran has just been nominated to the U.N. Committee for Program and Coordination, which meets soon to shape policy on women's rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention. ECOSOC members who backed this include: 🇬🇧🇪🇸🇨🇦🇫🇷🇩🇪🇳🇴🇳🇱🇦🇺🇨🇭🇦🇹🇫🇮

@JMuccia3 @Kormin_ I understand commercial temptation to do such a thing but imo it’s un-collegial, unethical and sets a questionable precedent.

@JMuccia3 @Kormin_ Good choice. In US it’s trademarked as well for usage as a tour name. Different company than in Europe though and applying to US companies/entities. This European company did/does same thing here but only has trademark in Europe. …

Are you kidding ! Imagine hiring lawyers in Hungary to tell local #Normandy guides they can’t use the words "Band of Brothers." A tour company is sending legal notices to local operators to monopolize WWII history they’ve trademarked. This is disgraceful !

@davidjmcarson1 If you need another form of transportation, I know a few good bike shops here in Cloggieland. Who knows, you might even find a bike which once was used by a German soldier after he took it from a poor unsuspecting cloggie. 🤗😉

End of an era for me today after owning this Hetzer for 46 years it was time to say goodbye as it’s off to its new owner. Delighted it’s staying in the UK after lots of enquiries from the USA, Germany, Holland, it found a British buyer, who will care for it now.

@militaryhistori @Artemisapphire Oh my, hope you’re not suggesting Waken Minds needs to wake up? 😉

@Artemisapphire The apprenticeship training of masons (tile-makers, wood carvers & stained glass window smiths) was far longer & more rigorous than your average degree course.

(leaves out the YEARS it became to be a qualified mason, like a peasant just picked up a chisel and went yeah, I'll just build a cathedral, and whacked a rock)

@nickfshort @SomersetCCC @CleaveO @AnnieChave @somersetpodcast It was the Summer of ‘65! … or was that the pop song? 🤔

Nice outing today, attending a talk by my good friend @Regjans on Easy Company, 506 PIR at Bastogne. Always a treat to hear Reg share his incredible knowledge and great stories on anything Battle of the Bulge.

A lovely day in NL. A good time for a long walk through the fields of our beautiful parish of Nuenen, Gerwen and Nederwetten, I passed this marker commemorating trooper Edward Mons Wilson, kia 21 Sept 1944. Long unidentified, I uncovered his name a few years. Still proud of this.
