Well said, Mr. Woods!

I certainly celebrate it with pride. Even though my Grandfather was in the pacific fighting the Japanese instead of the Germans.

Thanks for the reminder of what is important.

It is fitting that the atheistic neopagans dedicate the whole month of June to vile abomination, while Christians dedicate the month of June to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the pro-American citizens of this nation dedicate a single day for Memorial Day.

What does that tell you about our society? For more and more of us, nothing good, to say the least.

My father was there on day two. Rarely talked about it.

In this D-Day Omaha Beach mini-documentary we discover the story my the only motion picture cameraman, Sgt. Richard Taylor, that landed on Omaha Beach on the Morning of June 6, 1944.

John C. Raaen, Jr., graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1943. Commissioned as a 2nd. Lt. in the Corps of Engineers, he joined the newly activated 5th Ranger Battalion where he underwent extensive training in Florida, England, and finally Scotland in preparation for the invasion of occupied Europe.

On June 6, 1944, Raaen and his rangers were supposed to follow the 2nd Ranger Battalion and attack Pointe du Hoc, but delays and miscommunication saw Raaen and his Rangers rerouted directly to Omaha Beach. The 5th Rangers landed intact as a battalion and thus became the dominant influence on Omaha Dog Beach.

During his first time in combat, Raaen, who was an Army Captain at the time, distinguished himself on the beaches of Normandy France. He was awarded the Silver Star and Combat Infantryman Badge for his actions on that day.

I do too, even though dad didn’t go in on D-Day. He went in at Utah beach about a week after, driving a jeep towing artillery stuff.

My great uncle was a Lt in the 2nd ID and landed at Omaha Beach D-Day+1 and was killed, within 1 week.

He was my maternal Grandfather's BIL.

Most of my Mother's relatives served in the European theater.

My Father and his cousins ended up in the Pacific.

[Thank You Rush]

Thanks - I hadn’t seen anything posted by him in ages - glad he’s still around and apparently still going strong. A great, great actor and patriot!!
