The "Thank you" game will be against the Eagles. Ugh.

Thanks for all the great posts on this side topic. I could share a strange story about D Day and the war in Europe that came about from a genealogy search. f you could indulge me while I set up to get to the point...My Dad grew up in Pennsylvania coal country and served stateside ( out of South Weymouth Naval Air Station) flying on bombers searching for U Boats. He ended up discharged after getting hurt in a plane crash in 1944. We are of Lithuanian descent on his side of the tree and there are many Lithuanian genealogy resources based in PA, which I was active in while attempting to trace my roots back to the homeland.
In any event, one day about 20 years ago I got an email out of the blue from a Brit who was also researching on those PA sites. This is where it got interesting. He tells me he was born out of wedlock and his mom had been knocked up by an American soldier, and he was trying to trace back this guy based on his limited information.... his Mom didn't share much and she was passed on. But he had some clues to the fathers identity from her wartime correspondence.
His homework led him to me. He shared details that led him to an army captain from Pennsylvania who got killed in Normandy on D Day, and this guy was my Dad's cousin. I knew nothing of this man. My Dad just never talked about the war or his extended family, and he was dead when I was 29 so there would be no information shared by him. This Brit had photos of this dead captain, his gravestone in the American cemetery, as well as my Dad and his brother, and other relatives. The resemblance was stunning. He had details on their families and ancestry that I could not believe. All of this led him to me since I posted about a few of these same people on these genealogy sites. I had never seen much of this stuff, I was shocked. He was sure that the D day captain was his Dad, and would I be willing to take a DNA test to see about that? Of course I did.
And as it turned out, it was a negative test and all this fellows research had been for naught.
I felt so bad for him and just wished him the best as he started all over. He sent me a lovely book as a thank you and we corresponded for a few years but then that faded out.
My guess was that his Mom may well have been intimate with this fellow, but probably with some others too and the luck of the draw was not on his side.
Anyway thanks for obliging me, the Normandy talk made me think of it and it's a decent tale.
Great news. I'm glad things have smoothed over and we can start honoring the best player of all time. Hopefully when Brady comes back he can bring the gang with him too - Bruschi, Law, Brown, etc ...
Love!!!
