TOAY IS THE 75th ANNIVERSARY OF THE INVASION OF NORMANDY, FRANCE.
THAT BATTLE WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE NAZI STRANGLEHOLD
ON EUROPE....
ON THAT DAY, 160,000 ALLIED TROOPS LANDED ON THE BEACHS OF NORMANDY
TO ATTACK THE HEAVILY FORTIFIED GERMAN BUNKERS ATOP THE SHEER CLIFFS OVERLOOKING THE BEACH.....
U.S. ARMY RANGERS CLIMBED THOSE CLIFFS BY ROPE WHILE THE GERMANS
FIRED ON THEM FROM ABOVE....BUT THOSE RANGERS JUST KEPT COMING
UNTIL THEY DESTROYED THE ENEMY POSITIONS........
IT WAS A HORRIFIC BATTLE....I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF OUR MEN WERE
KILLED THAT DAY, BUT I DO KNOW THAT SOME OF THEM WERE MERE
TEENAGERS, OTHERS WERE HUSBANDS AND FATHERS WHO NEVER RETURNED
HOME....
I AM A GRATEFUL BENEFICIARY OF WHAT THOSE BRAVE, COURAGEOUS
SOULS DID THAT DAY.....I THANK THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES FOR THEIR
SACRIFICE..........
