D-Day + 71

[kyratshooter]

A thanks to the ones that survived it and lived to be our fathers and grandfathers.

And a special thanks to the ones that did not survive it. The days we are living in should give us a special regard for what they preserved for us, at least until now.

A tragedy indeed.

Thanks again to all or service men and women.
We won't forget what you have done for us.

My father went ashore on June 6, 1944. He saw those to his left and his right fall to enemy action. Were he here today, he would tell you to honor both the living and the dead because, in the final analysis, only a matter of inches separated one from the other.

Happy Days (because of those who went before us),

Spooky Ol' Joe

solemn respect given for all who faced the enemy.

I certainly hope they get it right this time. They deserve nothing less.
