There didn't seem to be much mention of it yesterday. With so much ekse in the news, a little event like D-Day can easily get overlooked.

Two-thirds of a century have passed since that morning in Normandy, June 6, 1944.

That's when the invasion and ensuing battles that would change the complexion of World War II and lead to the Allied victory in Europe were launched.

The ranks of the men who participated in that event and survived are dwindling. Someone just  18 at the time would be about 85 now. Most would be older than this.

This was a day that represented tremendous planning, strategies, and secrecy. Then it represented tremendous timing and coordination to execute it to perfection. Then it took courage and valor to storm that beach as a storm of gunfire rained down. This was how we were successful in shortening the war and preserving the rights and freedoms we enjoy today.

We must not forget the bravery that the world witnessed on this day.

I  have a few surviving relatives who stormed the beach and lived to tell the tale and still weep over those who did not survive. How quickly the rest of us forget.........

Steve, I had an Uncle on Omaha Beach, he was lucky and came home.  He also had a difficult time talking about his experience there.  He passed away over 20 years ago, but I still remember vividly what little he would say about DDay.  Thank you Steve!

Well said, Steve.  I does not surprise me that you did not see anything in the media about this important event, so your post is very appropriate and heart felt.
