Default D-Day, June 6, 1944

On this day in history....66 years ago, the Allies conducted the largest invasion of WWII to liberate France and Western Europe from occupation. It is sad that many news organizations have had little note of this event today and the lives and sacrifices made on that day. Rest assured we should NEVER forget!! My dad was in the second wave at Omaha Beach as a Navy Corpsman on that fateful day...he was a lucky one to survive until his 90's but he never ever forgot the horrible memories etched in his brain of the death and wounded casualties that lay on that beautiful sandy beach in France. May he and all that followed and have passed on with age Rest in Eternal Peace and may this country always remember the high cost of freedom that our soldiers have given and continue to give in many many wars and events for us to live FREE.
