Paratrooper Boots
60 yrs ago they would have kicked your butt if you did not earn them. So I feel wierd wearing mine in public but I do like wearing my French Army double buckle boots. They look similar to the late war combat boots that replaced the Corcorans. The price was great too at the time 30+ is what I paid.- DutchIndo

Uniforms in casual wear
A-2 Jacket mostly, I'll wear an M-41 HBT hat when I work out so I can get it all salty and broken in. Occasionally when I smoke cigars outside I'll wear a WWII Impressions Jumpsuit Jacket. Other than that no most people will just see an "Army" jacket. Most of my Jackets have insignia on them... -

That's awesome ! How can one not like the "Jug", people don't realize that the Liberator was the true workhorse of the AAF. It was said the Liberator was not a good plane to ditch in though. -

Taking Amtrak
It just doesn't seem right unless its the old Pullmans. Visions of the Little Rascals, Laurel and Hardy and the Three Stooges come to mind. And of course the WWII troop movements. I know there are a couple of restored Locomotives down here but they are the 1800 types. I took my first real train...- DutchIndo

"Vintage" foods that are still with us today.
Funny about Spam though in WWII we brought it to the Brits and the Hawaiians and they loved it. I understand they still love it. I have Hawaiian friends who tell me they serve SPAM in some 5 star restaurants. In an article years ago I read how Hormel I believe found a WWII vintage can. It was...- DutchIndo

Strategy of the Campaign in Western Europe
The Italian campaign was a tough one no doubt. It was more mountainous than Europe, it really chewed up the Allies. I can't help to feel sorry for that theater of Operation like the Pacific it was overshadowed by D-Day.
