June 6 1944 Normandy On this day the 6th of June let’s remember those who valiantly fought during the invasion of Normandy and especially those who gave their lives and the families who suffered the loss of a loved one.
Thank you to those who served then so we can experience freedom today. Regards Paul J |

Re: June 6 1944 Normandy We must all remember D-Day and teach it to our younger generation because they don't teach WW II In schools any longer. Those guy's were truly the "Greatest Generation", thank a veteran today!

Re: June 6 1944 Normandy Amen!

Re: June 6 1944 Normandy Morning news show finally mentioned it in the second hour. Nothing in the first hour would have happened had it not been for the sacrifices made 79 years ago. I Will say, they aired a pretty nice segment to a band of D-Day participants who were escorted on a return trip to Normandy.

Re: June 6 1944 Normandy Normandy='Ike's (General Eisenhower's)plan =where to do it; keep the Nazi Germany guessing 'til the final push.
If you haven't read it, read it! (Brit General Montgomery & 'Ike' had 'disagreements' about 'Nobody other'n Ike can do this'. and IKE DID IT! The Scots (Brit) were there as well DOING WHAT THEY DID WELL!!! (chew and spit them out. The 'V' for Victory = GENERAL EISENHOWER/all those Heroes, with FDR/Churchill allll the way to berlin& the eagle's nest front door. The 'clean up' within Vichy France. (I get chills thinking about this V-for-Victory.) - and there were German soldiers there that wanted nothing to do with the third reich. The third reich was Adolf's term; an intimidation tactic. THANK YOU. |
Re: June 6 1944 Normandy I remember that day very well - we offered up a prayer!!!

Re: June 6 1944 Normandy God Bless those brave soldiers. Many gave their life for this country. What a shame that real history is not taught in schools. Luckily many of us had teachers who fought for our country.

Re: June 6 1944 Normandy My Father served in the battle. In 1965 I won the draft lottery (the only lottery I have ever won). My Father was a staunch Catholic and he went to 6:00 a.m. Mass EVERY SINGLE DAY that I was in the Army !!!! Talk about The Greatest Generation !!

Re: June 6 1944 Normandy I salute!!

I was there exactly 5 years ago.
My kids all pitched in and paid for my trip as my 60 birthday present. It’s impossible to stand on the beaches and not be overcome by emotion when you try to grasp what was happening right then 74 years earlier. A trip full of memories I will never forget. |

I went to Utah and Omaha Beach in 2019. I was the only "non yank" in 3 Mini buses that day (Overlord Tours out of Bayeux).

Re: June 6 1944 Normandy Terrible times, this is the type of things they need to be required teaching in schools.
