I'm coming in just under the wire here, and it doesn't make me happy.
I knew that this anniversary of our countries finest moment was here, and yet I almost let it slip past. I forgot to put my flag out this morning, and even though I finally realized what this day was, I put off posting.
I am ashamed!
There was very little on the news today about a day that shaped my entire life.
That D-day could pass with such little acknowledgment of the sacrifices of the generation before mine makes me fear more for the generation that is coming behind mine.
What is this day? What did it mean to those in Europe that where waiting for someone to throw off the oppression of NAZI socialism?
I give you a video of a French citizen who, even though he had to go through an interpreter, needed to express his feelings about what America did for his country.
God bless our soldiers both past and present. May we always stand for right and to free those who are under fascist regimes.
May we not forget what they did, EVER.
