June 6, 1944

June 6, 1944. The day the Greatest Generation stepped up to the challenge of saving the world from tyranny and oppression. The day, 65 years ago, when Operation Overlord begun and thousands of American soldiers, together with their allies, British, Canadians, Polish and more, faced the insurmountable task of invading Fortress Europe. They brought back hope to those in Europe who had been subjected to Nazi occupation.
Their legacy is felt today after 65 years and with their ranks diminishing at great rate due to advanced age, we must take the time to let them know the debt of gratitude we owe them.
We also must insure that future generation will always be made aware of the blood that was paid for freedom on the beaches of Normandy and subsequently across Europe.

Most of all, we must insure that the history of sacrifice of American soldiers is not re-written by those who have been brainwashed by the prevalent anti-American forces across the globe and within our borders, especially in our colleges and universities.
Let us never forget that the freedom we still enjoy in our daily life has not been won by politicians, or by the Media, or by lawyers, or by community organizers. It has been won and kept by national strength and pride, by the sacrifice of loyal citizens, but most of all by the strength afforded to our nation by those who have in the past and still today wear the uniform of the US Military.
May God bless all our Veterans and their families. And may God bless all those who 65 years ago took on evil and defeated it, writing a chapter of American history we shall never forget.

And these are my thoughts
