Ted, the reason you never got the Destroyers back is because we paid you for them in full. Britain paid back its Lend Lease debts to the U.S. with the last payments in 2007 and post war loans were paid back the following year. Lagopus.....


My response was meant tongue in cheek as well. But, food for thought, just think where you would be had Barry the stoner been president at that time, instead of now.

My late Father's family donated a surplus Remington 03 and a Smith and Wesson .38 caliber revolver, along with a small amount of ammuntion for both, to a weapons for England drive in late 1939 or 1940.

They never asked for them back, or to be paid for them.


Best,
Ted
