[Peter W. Kessler]

“You are among the very greatest Americans who will ever live. You are the pride of our nation. You are the glory of our republic. And we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

President Trump's words were echoed by Vice President Pence at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, VA.

There were over 100 WWII Veterans in attendance, and more than 10,000 visitors.

The D-Day Memorial is worth a visit from anywhere. It's privately funded - no government support - and they can always use a donation. https://www.dday.org

Too wrapped up in the week to pay the right homage to such a special day.

Will go to pop and uncles’ graves (all fought) and make a donation to the Memorial.

Then maybe have a family gathering to BBQ and have all the pictures of those from our family who served, up.

Tell the younguns about them.

None in the family were at D Day but several were at the Bulge.
