• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

must do for saluting the warriors that stepped into the hornets nest. D-Day 70 years ago.
I broke out Band Of Brothers (BOB) in a marathon session. IMHO this is the best WW2 movie/series. I have a long list of others ( Invasion of the mainland of Europe related) as well including The Longest Day and Saving Pvt Ryan.
 
I'm not really a Hollywood guy ... I do remember back to the NAM days when everyone looking at the draft were checking their draft numbers and running to join the National Guard as a safe heaven to avoid NAM ... Seems so long ago now ... And after serving a decade during peace time yrs after NAM, its all too real to me .. laughable at times and horror at other times ..

After saying all that, don't forget 'Apocalypse Now' ... This show was almost freaky ...

Lots of Client Eastwoods' 1st westerns are out there also in their entirety ...

god darn the war mongers
F**k all the web site propagating our current enemies words about our current conflicts ... WTF is their real agenda helping the other side?

P.S. - I'm ready now to ride to Guba -- 250cc 2Ting it of course :)
 
My Dad is still alive and was in the Royal Navy during the war. He said his best day was getting to shell the Germans on D Day after all he Atlantic and Murmansk stuff he did. Different days hey, he went in at 16 and a half. At that age I was still being wet nursed. God bless those old warriors.
 
watch 'the pacific' series also. like BOB sequel, a fair bit of it was filmed down the road from my house on the beach around 2005/2006 I think it was. could hear the explosions, film stars/Hollywood mob in town, tanks being transported on trucks, locals as extras-was a good economic boost for the town too. you can see snapper island in the background when they land on the beach! would have been scary as hell doing what they did, adrenaline would be pumping & praying you made it ashore! respect.
