65 years
65 years ago today the Greatest Generation embarked on the operation that would CAUSE them to earn that title they carry to this day and forever after.
Most of them were young men, scared and unaware of what fates would befall by sunset of that day; yes they were scared, and the first wave of troop landing on the beaches in Normandy KNEW that they were into a virtual meat-grinder of an experience seldom seen in the annals of warfare, but they went onto those beaches, and despite extremely heavy casualties, they held those beaches and advanced yard by bloody yard until they had the foothold they needed to begin the reconquest of Europe. It was the beginning of the end for Hitler and his fanatical regime.
Now, looking backward through the mists of time, it seems incredible that so many ordinary people could be, and were, so extraordinarily heroic in their actions on this day. Take a moment and reflect on the events so long past, for they reverberate even to this day and still affect our world as it has unfolded since then. Set aside all your differences with your fellow citizens for a short time and give thanks that we had a 'Greatest Generation' willing to sacrifice their all to allow us our freedom to disagree with each other today. And take heart that the Sheepdog gene is still active in the young men and women willing to write that check to this great nation ;with their bodies and their honor, up to and including death, to defend those freedoms in the Armed Forces of the U.S.A..
I tried to make a small down-payment on the debt I owe to all those men and women today by participating in my 6Th PGR mission;riding a funeral escort and paying respect for one of the fallen.....what did
YOU do?

Happy was alive, a brave move, can not lose confidence, as long as you do, and always have their own world, not to give up, never give up. At the same time, good people will give others encouragement to others filling in when others need help, help others. When a friend's success in the blessings of friends, there is no jealousy, not to harbor bitter resentment, remember everyone is in fact very good. Let us work together to have a better world. seoor银行pos机its文化衫orT恤衫base腻子粉of morphemes.杭州室内装修a杭州店面装修tender杭州室内装饰affection杭州搬家公司one杭州搬家in电雕机in杭州植物租赁my缝纫机维修one杭州厨师培训sound温度记录仪coode去痘communicatesseoa祛斑of杭州google排名ineffable杭州网站优化may

But possibly you'll be able to small extra when it comes to content so males could connect to it greater. Youve obtained a horrible total lot of text for only getting a single or two images. Maybe you’ll have the capacity to area out greater?

Amazing blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I'm planning to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

I in addition to my buddies ended up viewing the good secrets and techniques on your website and so instantly I got a terrible feeling I never expressed respect to the site owner for those techniques. Those young men are already for this reason thrilled to study all of them and have really been loving those things. I appreciate you for simply being really kind and for considering some decent useful guides most people are really wanting to discover. Our honest apologies for not expressing gratitude to sooner.
