From The Washington Times:"Brig. Gen. James Lawton Collins Jr., a veteran of the 1944 invasion of Normandy at Utah Beach who also helped liberate a Nazi death camp in Germany, died May 5 of a pulmonary embolism at his Middleburg, Va., country residence. He was 84." "...Gen. Collins was the older brother of Michael Collins, who served in the U.S. Air Force and was a NASA astronaut on space flights Gemini X and Apollo XI."

I would say a moment of silence is in order for the Collins family. Both of those guys will always have their place in history!!!
My family extends our deepest condolences to the entire Collins family. From The Last Frontier........... Mike
