Yes. I went to the landing beaches a few years ago. It was a very moving experience.

Thank them all. When the world was torn they pulled together.

May we all be so brave as they.

D-Day - All Gave Some, Some Gave All

Yes my grandfather was under Patton....was at Omaha beach, he made it out. 10,000 died in one day on that beach.

What a horrific day that was in our history!

@Melbalee Yes, Freedom is not free! My mother had 6 brothers in WWII at the same time. One never returned and she said her mom was devastated by the loss of her mini me as I understand it, sad. Lots of people gave it all for our privileges we have today.

D-Day should never be forgotten. It could arguably be identified as the day that saved the world. Imagine what Europe would have become without it. It is sad that many of our American young people cannot understand (or do not care about) the impact of what happened on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944.

People dont know that it was a real gamle...if we didnt make it Hitler would have won.

Also, one the few wars in which national unity was apparent and all strata of society (men) contributed. It's all so sad. One of the soldiers was on the news today and talked about his experiences and the sadness resulting from seeing so many 18 year-olds die. Military bases honor them with 50 gun salutes today. Truly valient men and some women.
