The day of days...

Yesterday was the 64th anniversary of D-day, the Allied invasion of Hitler's Fortress Europa. Now you are saying, "Why is he mentioning this now? He should have posted something yesterday." Actually, I am posting this today to remind people that we should never forget the Greatest Generation, and the sacrifices they made in trying to achieve world peace. D-day was but one day in a horrific war that took millions of lives. We shouldn't pick just one day to remember them; we should remember them every day. Not understanding and appreciating history is a slap in the face of those who made it. Did you know that yesterday was also the 66th anniversary of the last day of the three day engagement known as the Battle of Midway? If you ever want to know what sacrificing yourself for a greater cause is about, read about Torpedo 8 from the USS Hornet.
