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.

Boa2 perhaps the reason for his continued popularity is that in retrospect people are able to see how much he truly accomplished, as opposed to what others claim to have accomplished. I did hear recently that his approval rating was about 68% when he left office.
Albert there is no tribute that is high enough, no honor too great for the people that poured out their youth and blood on the beaches of France 60 years ago today. It brings tears to my eyes to see and hear what selfless HERO'S did for the sake of others (not to their own honor and glory) so that others could live free of the evil or Nazism.

I thank the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or even brothers of those here that served on those awful days. I hate to say it, but I'm not sure we are of the same caliber as those men. I think it was Peter Jennings (a complete buffoon) who called them "The Greatest Generation." This does not begin to expose their greatness.

I say this as one whose mother was suffering under Nazi rule in Germany. Thank you America, Canada, UK, and Australia, for the sacrifice of blood and surrender of childhood that to this day teaches us what it means to be a man of honor.
I just heard recently although I'm not sure where, or how accurate it was, that 52,000 allied soldiers died storming the beach on D-day.

I don't care if those soldiers are republican, democrats, or communists, my hat is off to them. Not to mention those who continued the struggle and provided freedom for people that they did not know.
