65 Years Ago.

Sixty-five years ago today, American, British and Canadian forces landed on the beaches of Normandy, marking the beginning of the end of the war in Europe. Let us never forget the thousands who died on those beaches that day and elsewhere in Europe in the ensuing months.

They died for you and me.

Update: I received an email from a friend today, a portion of which I would like to share. My friend wrote, “I went to the local Pathmark [supermarket] this morning, and an elderly gentleman had on his navy hat from WWII. I shook his hand and thanked him for his service. He cried saying thank you.”

  1. Speaking from Brazil,
    I thank you all for the small chunk of freedom we still have.
    As I read somewhere, If I can read, I give thanks to a teacher. And if I can read in English, I give the deepest thanks for the soldiers who gave their blood for it.
    If you meet a vet from WWII, shake his hand for me.
    Thanks!

  2. You’re so right. They made possible the freedoms we have today. God bless them all!
