I remember only vaguely as a very young person hearing the talk about “D-Day”. I didn’t really know much about it at the time, but I know now. What a horrible experience for a man to have gone through! All of us need to need to realize & be very thankful for what our forefathers endured so that we might have what we have today.
All of my relatives were in the Pacific Theater and I feel like they do not get the recognition they deserve. The Japanese were Crazy maniacs during the war and would fight to the death to inflict as many casualties as possible. Many Germans especially later in the war were ready to surrender to the western allies because they knew they would be treated well. The Germans fighting on the eastern front not so much.
