Never Forget

Today marks the 72nd anniversary of the D-Day landings at Omaha Beach, Normandy, France. Our liberty rests on the courage of those men. Never forget.

In 2002, while visiting the Colleville-sur-Mer cemetery in uniform, a French lady came up to a small group of us to say thanks. They get it, freedom is not free.

Thanks for the article Chief. So few WWII vets remaining. My uncle survived the Philippines and just turned 90; two other uncles, one Pearl survivor and one who fought in Europe have passed on.

I'd hope to get the opportunity to visit there someday.

I saw a brief note while checking what happened today in history and of course the Peanuts strip remembered it... The Greatest Generation.

Mark Levin started his talk show today in tribute to this anniversary. He did a splendid job of educating those that don't know about it and praising the brave men that gave their lives so we can enjoy what we have because of their courage. Thank you Mark!

My Dad went in on Omaha Beach. He never spoke of the horror.

Here is my grandfather chilling in Hitler's lounge chair in his Eagle's Nest retreat right before they torched it. Mussolini gave him that marble fireplace. Someone in my family has chunks of it that he brought home as they took sledgehammers to it.
