today, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the "D day", or guys from your home, some of them very young , came to risk their lives, and unfortunately, for many lose it on our beach, in the name of a certain idea of freedom.

we do not forget. we need to never forget.

Our memory honors their courage and sacrifice.

You've said very much in just a few statements. Appreciate your thots, and yes, the remembrance is important to keep alive. Thanks for posting.

Thank you, Brunix, for a very poignant post. "The Greatest Generation" is not a misnomer.

Nat Geo has a few new specials about Normandy and late war history showing this week. Interesting stuff - some I never knew.

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower gives the order of the Day. 'Full victory-nothing less' to paratroopers in England, just before they board their airplanes to participate in the first assault in the invasion of the continent of Europe." Eisenhower is meeting with US Co. E, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment (Strike) of the 101st Airborne Division, photo taken at Greenham Common Airfield in England about 8:30 p.m. on June 5, 1944.

I've visited both Grenoble, France and Taipei, Taiwan. On both occasions received unsolicited appreciation for the United States role in liberating their countries, from young people no less. Remembrance there is not being forgotten or fading.
