JUNE 6,1944

[JcMack]

The 6th of June

D-Day. My flag is out. I wonder how many people in this country even know the sacrifices made by men and women from 1941 to 1945. My father was an Army Master Sargent in the ETO from '43 to '44.

Not this household.

 

[ladder13]

No, and I was just there.

In addition to this day of sacrifice and honor from those who freely gave their chance at safety in the greater interest of peace and freedom, it also marks another day in history...25 years ago my gun store opened along with the first indoor range in Montgomery County...I sold my half of the business following a very contentious divorce, and subsequently retired 15 years ago...Today I'll pay a visit to the current business (it has been sold and resold three times since) and see if anyone knows the significance of the day...

I did this five years ago, and only one employee ever even heard of the Normandy Invasion, or knew who I was......Ben

Estimated 10,000 Allied casualties including 2,501 US killed in action.

Also the beginning of the end for the Third Reich.

Has every one forgot what happen that day?

No! I will never forget. My flag flies today in their honor.

 

[gunship]

Never to be forgotten!

My uncle landed at Normandy on the 9th. So, on the 6th he was probably in England running around making sure he had all his gear. He must have found the important stuff, because he made it home when others weren't so lucky.

Our freedom is not free. 29,000 Americans lost their lives on June 6, 1944.

to the VA Medical Center in Boise.

D-Day may well have been the greatest single day group achievement in the history of mankind. There aren't that many left who participated, but all those who did should be remembered and honored forever.

I was talking to my golf partner this morning about that very thing. Mainstream media is very slowly changing the narrative of American History and people better wake up.

 

[Doug627]

Never forget.

 

[fiasconva]

My father-in-law was there at Omaha Beach with the 29th Inf. in the 1st wave so it will never be forgotten here.

Uncle Bob went in the night before, riding down in a glider. Rommel's asparagus gave him nightmares until he went home about 15 years ago. 1/325 Airborne Infantry Regiment/ Stand Alone!

I was talking to my golf partner this morning about that very thing. Mainstream media is very slowly changing the narrative of American History and people better wake up.

I hear this and always wonder where this belief comes from? My local paper and the state wide one to boot had a front page, interactive photo spread on D Day and a quarter page news article on page 6.

 

[chuckie]

I didn't forget, but the lame stream media apparently did. Haven't heard a single word about it all day.
