It is truly a memorable date. Many brave people form many countries gave their all to give us the lives we have enjoyed. I had family that were there. Sadly as time has past so has the effort to teach our youth of the great sacrifices made by those on that day. Today I was getting lunch and while I was in line some collage students were talking. One ask what was D-Day the other said he was not sure but thought it had something to do with Vietnam. I told them It was the beginning of the end of WWII. And a bit of what that met. One said OH, were you there Mr. I said no. It was in the last of the first half of the last century. One said Wow.

We saw the story over here. You can't keep a good man down. I respect those who just will not lay down. They will go tell the drop.
