The title splashed all over the front page was "Der Raubüberfall", which translates to "The Heist". Which, all things considered, was a rather fitting title.
Of the day of the invasion itself, I remember sitting in the dayroom at the firehouse during lumch, watching the news break on CNN. All of us in the knew we'd be on the move before long -- our wing maintained a readiness team (of which I was a part) that was on 24-hours notice for international deployment.
That evening I checked through my mobility bag to make sure I had all inventory. The next day I rounded it out with five cartons of Marlboro menthols and two bottles of Raynal.

Thanks for sharing.
Thanks to you, and everyone else who slogged through it.
It was an honour.
This recent escapee from TTA forums is on heavy drugs costing $25.000.00 per week. They affect my mind at times. Excuse me if I react out of the norm.
