77 Years Ago Today.............
June 6th, 1944 the invasion and eventual liberation of nazi controlled Europe began with one of the bloodiest and costliest days of WW II. If you will, take a moment to reflect on the young lives that were lost in the name of freedom, democracy and the American way of life. The human cost, by today's standards is unimaginable. The men lost to war that day were in the prime of their lives and had their whole future in front of them but they left their homes and took up arms in defense of their country. Those who were lucky enough to come home took up life after the war where it had left off before they willingly left the comfort of their homes, families and friends to go about their duty and dedication. They were, without question, the greatest generation!!
It's doubtful that our country has produced enough good, honorable men and women in this day and age to wage a campaign of the likes of WW II and more specifically D-Day. It seems the man-bun/gamer boys, the Marxist black lives matter and antifa/foo foo's outnumber those who would answer the call of duty! I hope I'm wrong but I fear I'm not.
I would humbly ask that you all take a short minute to reflect and maybe say a short prayer, if you are spiritually inclined, for those who gave, in Abraham Lincoln's words, "The Last Full Measure Of Devotion". Without them we could be speaking German, Japanese or Italian and living under tyranny and fear.
