D-Day

Jun 06, 2014 09:58

Today is the 70th anniversary of D-Day, the invasion of Normandy by the Allies against Nazi Germany in World War II. It came at a horrific cost but the people there still remember, and we should, too. Many Americans, British, Canadian and French soldiers lost their lives that day or were haunted forever by what happened.

World War II is edging closer to a Civil War status. The photos and films are usually sepia-tinted and the survivors are dwindling at a rapid rate every day. By the time the 80th anniversary rolls around, there won't be many veterans left. Someday we'll hear the story in the news of the last World War II veteran passing away.
