Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Lest WE Forget 76 years on D-Day

June 6, 1944. Beaches of Normandy. The memory and sacrifice of those brave soldiers is being tarnished by politicians on the Left and losers in the streets who have co-opted the death of a black man to turn cities to ruin. Many of these looters and politicians are children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren of these soldiers who ran forward into enemy gunfire in the name of freedom. They would be ashamed, I think. Today, I begin my morning in utter gratitude for the sacrifice made by those of stronger stuff than most of us. I hope each of you takes a moment today to remember the significance of that effort as well.

As a Country, we are falling apart. We are losing a civil war that most don’t even know is going on. Two from my family were there. On on Omaha Beach, the other with the paratroopers. We will always remember their sacrifice.

Thanks for posting. . . . each year there are simply fewer and fewer people who commemorate this day.

It occurred to me last night that what these protesters are doing wittingly or unwittingly...
Is to provide cover for the looters.

Remember when the public and press would keep it zipped so as not to get our (and our allies) soldiers killed?

Remember rationing for the sake of something bigger?

Remember a world before 'selfies'?

Patriotism
hold onto it because many are not..

Brave and exceptional men, every damn one of them.

They were brave men that sacrifice more than many can appreciate.

Amen ...

Thanks for remembering..... I always recall it because my dad was there. He was a 19 year old sailor on a light cruiser that was shelling German gun emplacements that were located away from the coastline out of sight from the sea. I'll never forget him talking about from where his ship was all they could see was the invasion force as far as the eye could see. Anyone recall the early 1960's movie, "The Longest Day" ? There's that scene where it's just getting light out and that German commander is looking out of a pillbox at the horizon, and the invasion force is beginning to appear in the faint light, and it covers the whole horizon. I saw that movie in the theater with my dad when it came out. When that scene came on I remember him saying "that's what it looked like".

The greatest generation for sure. Not only brave American forces, both Army, and Navy, but also Canadian, British, and French.

A lot was done by many that day.

Please do more by telling us exactly who provided funding for Hitler to stay in power and arm Germany for military conflict. All I can say is thank you to those poor guys that came to Europe to straighten things out.

I feel the U.S. should bring back the military draft. If someone spends a couple of years of their life in the service of the U.S., especially overseas, they may feel more connective with our flag, maybe even all lives would matter.

Well, one upside would be that the US Government would be more cautions before committing military into needless wars and conflicts. The reason US pulled out of Vietnam was due to massive protests against that war in the United States.
Let us hope that young people today aren't asked to do in China what their grandfathers had to do in Germany during World War II. If you want an analogy from that conflict to facing China today it would be like facing both Bolshevik Russia and Nazi Germany together.

After spending 25 years on active duty, I completely DISAGREE with the draft. Right now you have a professional military that wants to be there. Drafting a bunch of young punks that do not want to be there is counter-productive. It destroys morale and limits the rapport the service members feel for each other. Besides, how do you plan on paying for it? At the current pay scale you can't afford to pay every 18 year old clown those wages. Do you intend to take pay away from the professionals? And then there is the little fact that more than 70% of high school students are not eleigible for military service due to drugs, police involvement, obesity, medical issues etc... I did 2 tours of recruiting duty and saw that first hand. One thing I did notice when I was on active duty was that most the people calling for a draft never served themselves.

I had an uncle go ashore at Omaha Beach in the second wave. He was a foot soldier and fought all across Europe and ended the war in Germany. He didn't like to talk about it but I can't even imagine the carnage he saw when he waded ashore on D-Day. My grandfather was in the USN and was stationed with the PT Boats in the Philippines when Japan invaded right after Pearl Harbor. Those 2 old guys used to banter back and forth about who had it harder during the war. Both have since passed on. RIP to all the Old Warriors of every branch. HAND SALUTE!

Owe alot to em.
The world owes alot to em.






Your average schmuck in america just takes schitt for granted and they dont have a clue or care about events that have shaped their sheeple life.


Nuff said....

Thank you for posting. I don’t think we will ever see another generation of men of there like. Bravery, courage, mental fortitude, etc.

Thank you to all of you who served. May God bless you each and every day.
