Simply, thank you!  What a great generation!

Agreed.  We're losing so many of them every day.  God bless them all....

Salute to these great men and a nation that supported them. The greatest generation.

Those men who jumped behind the wall and stormed the beaches had balls that clank.  I was always proud to serve in a unit that carried their legacy and history.

Listen to history as it unfolded.  This is how America learned that we had begun the invasion of Europe.

We had three WWII veterans at the Sergeants Major Academy graduation today.

 

We were all very honored.

My great uncle who was a pastor of a church I attended stormed the beaches that day.  One Sunday while giving a service, he retold his story, it was so vivid!  I never seen a man weep as bad as he did while telling the story.  He spoke of the blood in the water, the smell, and the screams of boys calling for their momas.  He was a great man!

My wife's great uncle was there. He never came home.her grandfather (his brother) was so sad yet so proud. Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee
