My Dad is 96, and last year he still had tears in his eyes when he recalled looking for the planes and counting how many crews didn't make it back to the field after each mission.

God bless your Dad, and please thank him for his service for us. It made a difference.

The WW2 vets talked very little about their exploits. To them, they were not the heroes. The heroes were the men, whose faces and voices are locked in their memories, who never came back.

That is the burden that veterans carry with them, that we who did not experience this cannot comprehend.

For your Dad, he has had to bear those thoughts, ever at the surface of his conciousness, for 65 years. Tell him that as long as he can tell their stories, they live.

(Word is that he is already pushing Obama that Tehran’s mullahs are not responding to talks. He’s already breaking the bad news to Obama now.)

The Obamas turned down a dinner invite from the Sarkozys.

Obama says he "likely" won't be the last POTUS to honor the D-Day commemoration.

Likely? Audacity. Obamanation.

Here goes the teleprompter-in-chief. He tripped over the word Eisenhower!!!!!

He never studied American history in any of his fancy schools.
And he has not written very many speeches in his own history.

He is totally reliant on the words someone has put in front of him. He is so arrogant that he b’lieves he can fool all of the people all of the time - without even trying.

Well, the Chosen one has started speaking. Acting like he has a clue what he is reading about. I fear it will be “The Longest Speech.”

I hope the Rangers can make it to the top of the cliff and take out the teleprompters...

He’s not connected to what he’s saying . . . there’s no emotion in his voice. He’s reading a speech. That’s all.

Brown tried to turn this into the job is only half done and we must have a global one world order.

Disgusting.

I tried to get Sarkozy’s speech on replay but caught Brown. Now I have Obama but it sounds like nothing more than a speech. No emotional value so I’m shutting it off.

Sticking with the folks here with real heartfelt memories and gratitude.
