D-Day Remembered

June 6, 2011 | Steve McGough | | ,

Sixty-seven years ago almost 185,000 troops landed by air and sea to start the most difficult liberation in modern times. The youngest of those men – boys really – were only 16 or 17, and if they survived and are still with us they are in their early-80s now. Hundreds of those brave men die every day.

Thank you all.

    My wife’s uncle turned 18 the day he hit the beach in Anzio Jan 22 1944.
    He only started really talking about those horrors (OMG) a few years ago and he makes sure the ladies are out of ear shot.
    Truly, any person of that age deserves our respect, for they lived through?true sacrifice and being?real Americans.

    This is why, with having to deal with BOTH the “depression” and “WW 2” it is thus the generation of our parents, grandparents, uncles, and aunts is called “the greatest”. They not only saved America, but the world. Truly, it was a generation of leaders!

    Remember those who died fighting for your freedom, so you didn’t have to.
