D-Day Remembered

Today is the 67th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Festung Europa - Hitler's Third Reich. Thousands of valiant Americans, Brits, and Canadians hit the Normandy beaches and clawed their way inland against fierce Nazi resistance. It was the beginning of the end for the Nazis but there was nothing foreordained about the result - but for the bravery of these men we might be speaking German as our first language today. Yet looking at today's newspaper and numerous websites, I have yet to see a reference to this epoch-making event. Sad. How soon we forget. And those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Sad. Thank you D-Day vets, those few of you who are left. We owe you a terrific debt of gratitude.
