June 6, 1944......

Tony and Darcy: When you see all the white crosses in military grave yards, you can't help but stop and thank tose who have given the ultimate price for freedom . . . I cannot imagine what your uncle and other veterans have gone through for our freedom . . . let's not forget even today. Thank you for this reminder.

June 6, 1944 is truly a day that should be remembered by all!  WWII vets are surely our "Greatest Generation"

I have 2 Uncles that served in the Pacific Theater during WWII.  Both came home alive.  I have an Uncle I don't remember that was in the Battle of the Bulge.  He made it home, but died at a younger age.  I don't know what he died from, but my Mom said he was never the same after he returned from the war.  My Aunt was a widow as long as I can remember, and her son (my cousin) was their only child.  They paid a high price for that war as well.

Thanks for the reminder!

Amen!  There's a reason that's titled as The Greatest Generation.  Excellent post my friend!

"Thank You" is an understatement. It's amazing what these brave women and men go through. My Dad says very little to this day about his past war experiences. I am sure they are absoulely horrific. Thanks for this tribute to our men and women who serve and who have served in very difficult times.

Tony and Darcy, I was in Washington, D.C. in April for one reason and one reason only. I went to visit and to pay my respects to the veterans by visiting the war monuments.

The following photo was shot at the new  World War Two Monument. The words speak clearly  for themselves. God bless those that served and may we always remember the sacrifice of those that served and those that provided the ultimate sacrifice.
