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.

Albert, thanks for the reminder and wake-up call. My wife and I watched our copy of Saving Private Ryan last night. The opening of that film can only scratch the surface of what went on that day in Normandy. We couldn't believe the movie wasn't on at least ONE of our many Time Warner Cable channels yesterday.

As to NRCHY's earlier post, the author of The Greatest Generation is Tom Brokaw, the anchor for NBC Evening News. He has been to Normandy for the D-Day recognition / celebration for each of the last 20 years. His book and followup books are available at Amazon and other sources, Amazon link to The Greatest Generation provided here. Bob
