Seen a lot of butthurt comments from yesterday's surplus sale and wanted to shed some light on it all.

I got in line at 8. The first guy in line got there at 6. There were maybe 30 of us until about 9:30/10.

We knew what to expect and how crazy this event could end up being. We weren't going to risk getting there at 12/12:30 and missing most of the items available.

The crowd really started to flow in around 10:30. By 11 or so, it was pretty busy.

As soon as gates opened, my wife and I went straight to the baseball uniforms. And good thing, too.

🧵| Shug Jordan in #DDay

When 156,000 Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy 80 years ago today, James Ralph "Shug" Jordan was one of them.

In fact, Shug was one of the few people to know the secret details of the landings before June 6, 1944. (1/8) Image Jordan helped plan many amphibious landings during World War II. He was mainly in charge of the logistics portion as a member of the U.S. Army's First Engineer Special Brigade.

The D-Day dress rehearsal code name was "Exercise Tiger." No Auburn influence on the name, sadly (2/8) Image
