Today we remember the D-Day invasion, 82 years ago today. That was the Greatest Generation, in its most courageous and finest moment. The end of the war was in sight.
And now, almost all those brave men are gone.
In many ways, it was like the Republican victory in November 2024. There was still a lot of hard fighting ahead. Nazi Germany, like the Democratic Party, was still very dangerous. But that day made total victory almost inevitable.

Thank you for your help in saving Free Republic in its infancy. We have all benefitted.
Welcome back! Thanks for the thread!
Are you aware that our JimRob passed last October?
God bless. As Major Dick Winters of Band of Brothers fame would say, “Hang Tough!!” I think you have accomplished that. Welcome back from one who has been here from almost the very beginning of FR.
I was around for the Clinton discussions. Vince Foster and all the other mysterious "suicides" and "accidents." The little blue dress. The finger wagging and "I did not have ... sexual relations with that woman ... Miss Lewinsky."
The deal, on Clinton's last day in office, that allowed him to avoid prosecution by forfeiting his Arkansas law license for five years, and paying a $400,00 civil penalty. For perjury. Otherwise, he would have been marched out of the Oval Office in handcuffs.
(Hillary would later make $200,000 for every 20-minute speech. At least one of those speeches was to a room full of Russians, who couldn't understand a word she said. And Bill wasn't going back to Arkansas anyway.)
Much has happened since then. And we'll have plenty of time to talk about it. For now, the work of Jim Davis at AmericanThinker.com is offered as food for thought. One of their other columnists is named Clarice Feldman. Perhaps you remember her too.
Yes. He was a visionary. When he started Free Republic, there was really no place conservatives could go to learn the truth. CNN was earning its "Clinton News Network" nickname, every hour of every day.
The terrain has changed, but the mission remains the same: find the truth, and report it. May God bless Jim and his family.
Yes. And he deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
I think WorldNetDaily (wnd.com) was already around. I went there before I found FR (I have been here under a different name longer than my current name). Lucianne.com is weak tea, but some conservatives went there. And there was the old Drudge Report.
FTA
A sweetheart deal allowed Clinton to avoid prosecution for Lewinsky sex by
forfeiting his Arkansas law license for five years, and paying a $400,00 civil penalty.
For perjury.
Otherwise, he would have been marched out of the Oval Office in handcuffs.
An excellent series.

Welcome back. I always watch “The Longest Day” on or near D-day. It’s just a movie, but it reminds me of the men who died for us that day.
Welcome back, Old Timer! My late Dad, who was fighting in Italy at the time, used to say that yes, the 4th of June was a date worth celebrating, and when I sez, “wait, you mean June 6th, dontcha?” he replied “4th of June was the fall of Rome. It kinda got upstaged a couple of days later, didn’t it?” I grew up thinking that Mark Clark’s middle name consisted of a string of expletives...
.....Remember D-Day....
Amen!
And welcome back!
Congratulations and welcome back, Bryan!
