I like that meme.
A quick story. I saved it, and usually post it here every Veteran’s Day. But it sure does apply to D-Day too.
Back when I was in my 20s I worked security for a major university. One of the campus cops - I’ll call him Bill - was older than most of us. He was also fat and slow. Bill didn’t look anything like those slick cops you see on TV. Some of the younger campus cops made fun of him. Bill never said anything back. He just took it.
Well, one day Bill brought a briefcase to roll call. He didn’t say a word, he just opened it up in front of us. In that briefcase were citations and rows of medals. Bill was an Army Ranger who landed on D-Day.
Nobody made fun of Bill after that.
Tue beginning of the end yes, but also the start of real mass murder on a scale never seen before.
Just for the record.... google home screen today is 2023s google doodle winner of some Mexicans playing in a sunflower field.
Imagine the noise that 11,000 propeller driven aircraft make!
