D-Day - The day the Allied Forces landed on the beaches of Normandy.
My father was a member of the 743rd tank battalion. They landed on the beaches of Normandy and later fought in the Battle of the Bulge. The United States is losing members of "The Greatest Generation" at an alarming rate. If there is someone you know who was in the armed forces during WWII, please take a moment to hug them and say thank you. If not for those brave men and women of the Allied Forces, the course of history might have been totally different.
I am so proud that we have finally honored these brave warriors with their own memorial in Washington, DC. I am only sorry that my dad, and thousands of others, did not live long enough to see it.
Thank you again for standing against evil.
