[Land-speed] NON- Maxton/Laurinburg 1944

[John Szalay]

Yep the 101st artillery went by glider, the infantry went by parachute.

IIRC:  The saying  was  

Glider troops,
" No jump pay
  No flight Pay,
   But, Never a dull moment."

-------------- Original message from John Streeter <jrstreeter at msn.com>: -------------- 

During the D-Day Invasion the General of the 101st Airborne Division was killed in Action when the glider that he was landing in came to an abrupt stop upon touching down and the Jeep that was inside decided to keep going.
