I'm 72 and I've watched every D-Day tribute on TV this last week, including today when I watched the History Channel and D-Day in High Definition. What horror and hell these truly brave men went through. Every teenage boy and girl and all age groups who are older and know nothing about the WWII (because of socialist/communist/marxist influence in our schools today) should be encouraged to sit down and watch these films. Parents & grandparents should see to it that they are educated on what really happened in WWII. They must be made aware that their grandfathers, great-grandfathers who fought for this country are hero's who did what they had to do to protect our liberty and freedom, and that they were just young kids themselves. And they must continue to be honored. It will be up to us, the older generation, to teach them the truth.

I agree with every word you wrote. The schools are not teaching history and avoid anything to do with ‘war’ now. I have a close friend whose father fought in The Battle of the Bulge and I found a site that had many pictures of that winter and what they endured. It was unreal!

I lost that link but there are others not quite as descriptive;

American soldiers who spent the terrible winter of 1944-1945 on the front lines in Europe. Browse the faces of some who were at the Bulge.
