Greetings everyone! My name is John G. Brokopp. I am 63-years-old, born and raised in Chicago, Ill. I am honored to have been accepted as a member of this forum and to be privileged to have access to this remarkable and fascinating research in spite of the fact (and regretfully I may add) I have no military background. I serve as a Master Security Training Instructor for the Transportation Security Administration out of Midway International Airport in Chicago. In my own way, albeit as a civilian, I finally have been afforded the opportunity to serve my country. My 14-year-old son Joshua is a WWII historian. Together we will journey into the incredible resources of this forum. With special thanks and gratitude to all of you, and in honor of MSG John T. McCarthy, 101st Airborne Division, whose Normandy story my son and I are eager to explore. Sent with my deepest gratitude and respect for all of you.
Hi John, You are very welcome to the Forum and we look forward to getting to know 'Team Brokopp' on these pages. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help make you and your son's experience here more enjoyable. Regards, Pat
