One of my favorite moments in WWII occurred on this date 65 years ago. The Battle of the Philippine Sea. June 19-20, 1944. Aircraft returning to the fleet after a late a'noon attack on the retiring...

I bought 2 dozen Browning VCI...
I was at the Creighton Rd. Wal-Mart yesterday - lots of .40S&W and 9mm in the center of the sporting goods kiosk. "Some" .45, also - Blazer, I think.
