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.

Before my time of course,but I had an uncle in the U.S. Navy die during the practice run for the beaches when German torpedo boats suddenly showed up and caused mass U.S. casualites.

Our family still has a picture of him in uniform.
18 and full of life.

I joined the U.S. Navy in the mid 70's.I had it very easy.
Nice thread Albert.
