65 years ago on this date allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Hitler's Socialist tyranny.Many will see observations and ceremonies marking the great sacrifices of "the greatest generation". Today we breathe free because of sacrifice.The brave who have answered the call of duty and we are now free. Personally, I am overwhelmed at the thought of what it took. The literal blood,sweat,and tears of all those who knew that great evil must be fought agenst and good must prevail. I am reminded of a story of the battle now called "the battle of the bulge" Patton was being hammered, the weather was not cooperating and it looked like the American lines were not giong to hold..then the miracle happened! The sky broke-allied planes roared in and gave the Germans some pounding and Patton went on to win. Patton looked up and gave thanks--he knew where the victory came from. Today many are observing D Day remembering events in Europe and here in America. On this D Day anniversary MUST remember and thank Almighty God for he freedoms we have and never forget those who paid the ultimate price.
