OT: 6-6-18 = 74 years

I didn’t want to let the day go by entirely without noting D-Day. Heroic, valiant, selfless, brave, clever, and direct.... our forebearers made us proud. Thanks to those who served. We wouldn’t be here today without them. My little side note of the day as I think about my dad and mom and grandparents and uncles and aunts who did their part.

It is hard to imagine what so many people went through on that day. We have inherited an amazing gift paid for with the lives of our fellow countrymen.

The first 20 minutes of Saving PrIvate Ryan will immerse you in what D-Day was like.
