Thanks for posting this reminder. I haven't seen anything on the radio or in the papers on D-Day. It seems that there is less coverage every year. It needs to be remembered for the men who fought there, and how it ultimately signaled the beginning of the end of events that could have given us a much different world then what we have now.

God Bless all that served.......Eisenhower’s letter to the troops......

Wow what a letter!

Yes they were a great brave patriotic generation of people & soldiers... we can't ever forget... what they sacrificed & gave to/for us all as Americans... I feel truly humble, thinking about all of what that they gave up for our generation, to be better, with standing up-to the socialism, the Red Communists, USSR & China, were both actually our allies & they helped to stop the spread of Nazi Fascism, Japanese Imperialism &/or tyranny of those times.... Thank you, to all who have served...

I Don't Know Whether I Have Ever Seen Pictures Of The D-Day Landing Zones Under Fire! Incredible Pictures!

Haven't seen much in the news either but I don't watch the main stream news media much anymore. Most of it is lies anyway....and everything coming from the WH is too.

Yeah not much media coverage of the 69th Anniversary of D-Day &/or the Normandy Invasions/troop landings in occupied France, just on the little affiliate or local networks... June 6th 1944, truly a day to remember our troops... I did watch a few old John Wayne World War II flicks, "The Longest Day", is a hell of a great epic war movie...

It's hard to imagine what it would be like to be in the middle of that kind of combat. We can't honor these great American solders enough. They truly are America's greatest generation. Remember them for their courage.
