Today is the 80th Anniversary of D Day

[Paul B]

Lets remember that today is the 80th anniversary of D Day. 5 years before I was born.
Many thousands of American Hero's died storming the beaches of Normandy. Thats one big reason we are free today.

May they rest in peace.

Thank you veterans for your service.

I read an article a little while ago on how it almost didn't happen. (weather issues)

When I was stationed in Germany I toured Auschwitz. It's still gut-wrenching to think about what happened.

Went there a few weeks ago. I would recommend it for everyone if you can. We are going back and take our daughter in a few years so she can experience it.
