JULY 10 1940

On this day in 1940 Hitler's Germany dropped bombs on Britain and continued doing so with the idea of invading the English Isles.  The Brits responded with "Spitfire" and "Hurricane" fighters thus prompting Churchill's "Finest hour" speech.  As a result Hitler never made the invasion but instead turned his eyes and forces on Russia.
In the months leading up to the "Battle of Britain" the United States asked it's citizens to "loan" their personal firearms to the British people so they could defend their shores.  Britain had Gun Laws that deprived it's citizens of rifles and hand guns so they called on US for help.  We must never forget this event and be ever watchful!.......Medicineman!
