All of these men were part of a rollcall of honor with names that spoke of a pride as bright as the colors they bore: the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, Poland's 24th Lancers, the Royal Scots Fusiliers, the Screaming Eagles, the Yeomen of England's armored divisions, the forces of Free France, the Coast Guard's "Matchbox Fleet'' and you, the American Rangers...

No disrespect to the Rangers, but if it hadn't been for the U.S. Navy and the destroyer USS Satterlee, there would have been no conquest at Pointe Du Hoc.

The first person after Jesus that I want to meet when I get to heaven is Ronald Reagan.

I was trying to talk to a couple young 13 yr olds today about US history and the significance of June 6th , it went something like this :

me: Do you all know what June 6th marks the anniversary of ?

them: ummm oh! it's 666 the Satanic day or something , we saw it on the movie Omen !

me: forget the fantasy BS , do you know what that day really represents ? Or should represent to all Americans ?

them: uh no , hmmm , nope no idea ....

me: D-Day

them: D-Day ? what's that?

me: ever heard of World War 2

them: um yea , I think so, isn't that when America went and bombed someone ?

me : hmmm , how about Adolf Hitler ?

them: Hitler ? didn't he invent the atomic bomb or something ? (well , at least they are not budding neo-Nazi's!)
