What do you think of when you think of veterans of D-Day, June 6, 1944?

I think that we don't make them like that anymore.

I think of bravery of men who knew with certainty they were very likely to die.

Yet, they flew gliders and parachuted behind enemy lines and stormed a beach.

They initiated a new era of enduring peace throughout most of two continents.

I think of how blessed we are as American's to be here and to have all our freedoms. Such a different time back then! Life was a bit slower but the men and women some how actually gave a damn about life and had a great work ethic. No one of that generation was asking for handouts. I constantly remind my privates of this concept.. if America could only go back to the way things used to be "including giving up our I-phones" I think life would be so much better. God Bless all the veterans of that era.
