Lest we all forget.

For some reason, to me, D-Day has always been the day I have observed as a remembrance for all of WWII. Even though my own father was in Naval Air Forces in the Pacific and had never been to Europe or served in any other theater, it is still the Normandy invasion that symbolizes the Allied cause and heroism more than anything else. This is not a denigration of any effort on any front during the way, just a personal sentiment.

It seems to me that the landing was the Epic of 20th Century. In a single action, years of planning, thousands of men, billions of dollars were hurled against the distilled evil of socialism - an effort unthinkable in any other government enterprise without the complicit goodwill and sacred agreement of free men and women everywhere. If there is anything I draw from this symbolic battle, it is that all government enterprises (NSDAP or today's misguided and diluted versions of similar philosophies) are doomed to failure without the wholehearted support and sacrifice of freedom loving peoples.

I second that. Again, thank you to all these veterans both living and dead. It saddens me to think how through the EU and the rise of Islam, Europe is regressing into the kind of totalitarian oppression these brave men fought to end, 65 years ago.
