Hello all...
I would like to introduce myself...my name is Bruce Arbo and I live in Alabama currently...I'm very happy to be a new member of this community.
Please forgive me not using French, but, I'm afraid my French is VERY rusty...(Ma grand-mère tourne dans sa tombe-Je a été soutenue à la New Orleans!)...perhaps all of you could help me practice?...I promise to try...
I wanted to share my collection, so far, of American units on D-Day, Normandy...
all are in various stages of completion but are fixed in their final equipment and kit...
All are slowly getting the '1stlooey' suspender mods, and all are waiting on CVI 'lift the dot' upgrades.
