Sorry, as an Alaskan I gotta` object. Several battles were fought during WW2 on American soil, in the Aleutian chain in Alaska. Half a mile up the road from where I grew up is old AA batterys, to protect Ladd Field from japanese fighters. Many older folks up here remember the days of the Alaska Territorial Guard training to repel a full scale invasion. So yeah, we have been invaded, and the weather did more to repel the enemy than fighting did.

My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
