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.

A very dear uncle of mine passed away a few months back. He was part of D-Day as a member of Patton's tank division; endured the Battle of the Bulge; somehow survived the tank destroyer he was in being blown up a couple of times; saw the entire European theater from Normandy thru France and Italy and on to Germany.

As I am sure is happening today and we do not hear about it in Iraq - helped many struggling German families with provisions etc along the way.

He was a true American Hero - as were countless others. God bless them all - and God bless those fighting for democracy today.
