my favorite american leader of the war was general hunter liggett, who was born in reading pennsylvania -- reading, pennsylvania. he was the guy who developed the movement to save the lost battalion. there are some very talented american generals. bullard was an example of the worst. that was not the only example. he was responsible for the annihilation of a portion of the 28th division, pennsylvania national guard, at a place in august 1918. he left them stranded in a bridgehead on the other side of the river and the germans wiped it out. which brings me, long way, a memoir, i highly, highly recommend, since we are in pennsylvania, we are in pence -- in gettysburg for those who want to take a personal look at an experience of the work, read a book called toward the flame, by her the -- harvey allen. he is a member of the 28th division and he describes the weeks leading up to the battle of fee met -- battle of the met when they were attacked by a german flamethrowers. it is very personal, beauty -- beautifully written. i highly recommend that but. okay, thank you very much. >>> saturday
