Red and Rover by Brian Basset for June 05, 2019

Oh, I love the fact you wrote Higgins Boat on the wagon! I was just thinking to myself, “What he needs is a Higgins boat,” and there it was. Good show.

Dogs too helped liberate Europe from the tyranny and oppression. The dogs wore their own parachutes and were trained to jump after bones/treats. It would appear that they were not distressed by the experience and after a few practice jumps they would often exit the aircraft without coaxing.

Well done, boys! Brian, Red, and Rover…thanks for remembering.

When I was in the Army in the early ’60s, one day my CWO-4 grandboss showed up in his class-A uniform, with a 101st Airborne combat patch and with fourrageres for the French and Belgian Legions of Honor and the Dutch Orange Lanyard. There were so many of these guys I regret never talking to back then.

I’m sure everyone appreciated to remembrance of the sacrifices made, but D-Day is tomorrow.Doesn’t mean this isn’t a great strip.

Very very good point, Rover!

Fighter against oppression and brutality!!

Thanks, Brian, for educating us about Higgins boats (https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/courses/ww2/projects/fighting-vehicles/higgins-boat.htm). My husband and I are studying D-Day this week and we thank your beloved duo for their respect and reference.

I think it’s a great strip, regardless of above comments.

Please never forget their sacrifices.

Great strip!

God bless my darlings for remembering D-Day! And bless the greatest generation for saving us!

born in 1950 . I grew up knowing so many of these men and never realizing because they they did not , would not , talk about it.

Thank you Red and Rover for remembering our Military sacrifices!

A lot of good men and women died. Do you ever wonder if one of them would have found the cure for cancer or made a contribution to the welfare of mankind?

I salute you both.

How about liberating America from current nazi occupation.

Thank you everyone who has served,,,,

This comic brings me to tears and joy to my heart.
