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.

While I always remember to pay my respects for those that lost their lives on June 6 1944, I recall living in Europe 20 years after WW 2, of seeing the many American cemeteries, of those that lost their lives fighting against Germany... the size of those cemeteries, as as you walk thru them, you can read the names of those young men, and where their home state was... many were just farm kids, 18 to 20-21 years old...heck they weren't even young men.... most were those just out of high school...

heck each year on Veterans Day, the High School my son graduated from, holds an Veterans Day, that they have veterans come in and talk to high school students in their classrooms, answer questions etc... then they have a tribute assembly for us.. and then they serve us a lunch....there are several old WW 2 vets, well into their 90s, I see each year....two were Medics... both guys were drafted while IN High School... one was a High school Senior, the other a High School Junior, who had fallen behind in elementary school....they were still children...they speak of others who were drafted with them, while in High School, and never made it home..

compare that to today in American... kids the same age, are roaming the streets right now, following their communist indoctrination from our education system that now occupies this nation.. screaming about inequality, how all minorities are victims with special social status, as they vandalize our cities, burn down and destroy businesses, homes and property, loot those places for personal gain... all the while yelling and screaming at Police Officers, throwing Bricks and frozen water bottles at them, even fighting with Federal Park Police and the Secret Service officers in our Nation's Capitol, right in front of the White House... while they are busy trying to storm the White House.. and do Lord knows what....all the while screaming about police brutality.. doing so with some sort of vision in their heads that they are national heroes...

Sad that our nation has gone from what those young men... boys.... did for their nation 76 years ago.... to what boys and Now girls of the same age now are doing.. within our nation's borders and in our own streets... even in our Nation's Capitol... trying to storm the White House...

A Salute of Respect and Prayers for the sacrifices of our younger generation 76 years ago... and a curse on the people of the same age today, who are burning down our cities, rioting in our streets over What???, and looting the businesses that others have built, for their own personal gains...

We have gone from a nation of strength and national pride 75 and 80 years ago for our youth..... to a nation that is a total embarrassment 75 and 80 years later, of our youth.. that hates our country, wants anarchy on our streets, and desires to hand over our nation's history, and re write our future with it in the hands of foreign born illegal immigrants...Radical Muslims et al....

I apologize to those guys, who gave their lives up so young, in 1944, for our nation and the world... for the legacy our society has left them for their sacrifices....it should bring all Americans to tears...

How soon and how easily we forget.

G*d bless them and their memory.

The same deep state cabal players who are funding Antifa, BLM and Dims today. Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Bilderbergs, Pincus, Warburgh, Bush, etc. The same folks Trump said he has a chance to break. The owners of the central banks, Fed, Wall Street, Hollywood, and the MSM. The ones Gayghost, SAC, la Roy, Ejp, Calledumb, Northmam, Jell0 and djs support.
The House of Saud until recently when Trump flipped them.

As Gutlie Rothschild truthfully said, "If my boys wanted no wars, there would be none".

Well, I did get drafted and spent two years 1965-1967 and came out an E5, so at least my attitude wasn't as bad as you implied. Just my view of one shortfall of the current crop of discontented.

I actually was digging through some old stuff from Mom and found a dog tag that belonged to Her first husband . he was in Germany during the war and brought back some stuff. We are going to donate most of it to the local museum. One of the things we are keeping and are going to sell is a very old medal. It was from the days when Germany had Knights and Commanders. It is worth thousands of dollars to the right buyer.

Seafire: Thou hast nailed it.

I'll second that.

Yes he did and generally does.

We live in a newer neighborhood, mostly relatively young retirees. This morning the folks across the street are loading up to move across town, a few neighbors hanging out, helping, yakking. Many fly the flag on major holidays, and a few to show solidarity over the virus thing I guess. Only a few are veterans.

Anyhow, they asked me why I put up my flag today. D-Day doesn't show up on their radar, I guess.

Most today don’t have a clue about what the Greatest Generation sacrificed.
For a little taste watch the Pacific on Amazon prime. Hasbeen

Thank you.

Another fact to contemplate today also...

Of those young men who came ashore or landed from the sky behind enemy lines...
of those that survived June 6th 1944...

50% plus of them were dead and killed in combat, by June 20th 1944..

they needed to be remembered and honored just as much as those who lost their lives on June 6, 1944...

each young men who gave it all for their nation and the freedom of people all over Europe.....

Thank God for all of those good men and their generation.
We all owe them alot.

Salute!

I was in both Abn. divisions when in the service, the 101st and 82nd. Waiting to load a piece time aircraft before a jump I had butterflies. Always remember them on the nite of June 5th.

Its really hard to put into words what we owe all those who went in on D-day. It was probably the most consequential day in world history.

I'm old enough to have known a number of the "Greatest Generation". True they had great challenges, the depression and the war, but I would say any number todays kids would do as well at "just doing the job we were trained for"

My uncle Andy was in the first wave. He had a funny story about that night. My Dad came ashore later, they held up by the storms.

Another thought: These mostly younger young people who are protesting what they call "fascism" haven't a clue what real fascism is, or the existential threat it posed to civilization in those years.

Through the service and sacrifice of countless brave men and women, and likely divine intervention, it was stopped.

We should never forget, never.
