I always think about D-Day on June 6th every year and the soldiers who lost their life that day back in 1944. I'm reading a book called "Flags of our Fathers" about the famous picture taken by Joe Rosenthal of the Marines raising the American flag on top of Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima. Almost 7000 Marines were killed with over 19,000 wounded. Of the 22,000 Japanese only about 1000 survived.
No one cares this is the anniversary?

I kept thinking all day that someone else would do this.
There was a lot of blood left on the beaches in France this day 60 years ago so Europe would be free from oppression.
There was a special this morning on History Channel, where one survivor, barely 17 years old that day tearfully described his fallen comrades and his realization that he narrowly escaped death.
We owe these soldiers, living and dead, a debt of gratitude.
