Today is the 80th Anniversary of the Normand Invasion. Another important day that is slowly fading into memory. |

I could aways count on a broadcast of the Longest Day on June 6th. Not this year. |

These heroes were truly from "the greatest generation." May their sacrifices never be forgotten. |

My wife said she was watching a ceremony being held in Normandy this morning, and the veterans that were in attendance were all in wheelchairs, yet made every effort to stand when being recognized, still showing that they will always be the greatest generation. |

If I saw it correctly they said there are less then 1% still alive from that day. On average 130 pass away each day. When you think about it the entire generation will probably gone in the next 5-10 year. |

If we as a nation let this memory fade away, we will have just ignored the greatest generation that ever lived and we should be thankful for every liberty we have today is because of them !! Never forget !! |

I can not comprehend the amount of fear when the ramp on the landing craft dropped. If anyone out there is in the Bedford Va. area someday, visit the National D-Day Site. Very moving. Bedford lost 20 men on Omaha Beach. That's the largest pecentage of any town in the USA on D-Day. |

This is what pride really means, the sacrifices these men made, and the ones who made it home didn't try to draw attention to themselves, just went about their business. I will always be thankful that I got to know and especially work with some of these guys from the greatest generation. |
