That gave all 75 years ago on a beach in France. Many left our Country to never return or never return whole, to save the World and ensure the life we enjoy today. God Bless them and God Bless America!

Those guys were among the most heroic guys in history. What they did is unimaginable and when asked about it later the comments were almost all about doing their job or duty and looking out for the guy next to them. Of course it can't happen but everyone of them, with a few exceptions, are deserving of The Medal of Honor. Never in Modern Times has there been such a collection of bravery.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Tomorrow is that actual anniversary of the landing and I'll post something up about what I did on the 50th anniversary of that day in Normandy.

My Dad was there. Let us never forget their bravery , courage and sacrifice that day on those beaches. May their graves and markers serve as beacons to remind mankind that they gave their lives so that freedom would ring till the end of time.
