Never Forget
I hope that every American citizen stops their busy lives for just a few moments today to remember the great sacrifice that thousands of young men committed 61-years ago today.
That's right. June 6, 1944. D-Day. The greatest invasion of all time -- American troops (with assistance from the British) storming the Nazi controlled beaches of Normandy, France. It was an invasion to liberate Europe from the oppression of Hitler and it was a success. Less than a year later the Nazi's were defeated and by August of 1945 the Japanese were finished as well. World War II was officially over.
So take some time out today to pay your respects to those who gave their lives on the beaches of Normandy. And don't forget the countless others who have defended this great nation, in both times of peace and in times of war.
