In her post 590, Ragtime Cowgirl brought our attention to an article found on the pages of the Wall Street Journal. Barbara Makuch has written a thank you note to our men and women under arms.

Please put on your hiking boots and remember back to half a century ago to the days when our soldiers liberated Europe from the Hell of Nazi Germany. Let us all join in her thanks to the men and women who pay for our freedoms and way of life in their blood sweat and tears.

"I want to thank you for my existence. I want to thank you for your sacrifices, and for your courage, because without your heroism, this world would indeed be a different place. Were it not for the brave soldiers who liberated my father from Dachau, and my mother and her family from the Nazi slaveholders, I would not be here today. Nor would millions of others, all of whom remain indebted to you. ...."
