I’m very thankful for their service and sacrifice for our country.
The best meme is of the landing craft - “college kids leaving their safe space”. How far we have fallen. Prayers for those incredibly brave and patriotic men.
Thank you for posting this, Diana. We must never forget.
Anyone know at what beach / LZ this iconic photo was taken?
June 4, 1944 -- liberation of Rome
June 6, 1944 -- Normandy invasion begins
June 15, 1944 - Battle of Saipan (D-Day of the Pacific) begins
The U.S. provided the main manpower and supplies for all three major military operations in three different areas happening at about the same time. Can you imagine the planning and logistics and equipment and manpower to pull off all of those?
Wasn't alive that day, but I still honor and remember!
From this Air Force retiree:
I see the invasion of illegals as an extreme dishonor to the brave soldiers who gave their lives in defense of our freedom. I believe that all illegals should be shot on sight and their enablers be strung up and left to rot as a warning to all other traitors.
Last year I got to go to Normandy and meet Maj. Gen. LaNeve, the commander of the 82nd Airborne in Turqueville.

An experience I will never forget.
