FWIW, my father landed on Omaha Beach that day in the US Army.

This past winter I read Churchill’s six-volume history of WW2, and it left such a deep mark on my heart that I find it very hard to take Limbaugh chest-beating with no mention at all of the British, who were equal partners in the planning and execution of the invasion of Normandy, and who stood alone against the Axis powers for 3 years.

Churchill never would have committed such a slight, and would have found it intolerable I am sure.

Yes – this commemoration in particular pays tribute to the Americans.

As do the people of Normandy, to this day.

Feel free to write a tribute of your own to the brave Brits, who earned it.
