Its becasue of The Greatest Generation much of the world is free today - we owe our grandfathers, fathers, grandmothers and mothers who fought, served or supported our Country's efforts in World War II all the respect, admiration and honor...
My Dad who is still with us was in the US Navy, on a ship supporting D-Day efforts and I'm proud of his service.

I was on Juno beach last year for D-Day, my troop was refurbishing an AVRE (Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers) that belonged to *26 Armoured Engineer Squadron-my old Sqn!! I was there for 2 weeks chatting to all the vets and families as they passed by. We also had the remaining crew survivor on the parade. Very humbling indeed. I shall post some pics later if you like? *26 Was attached to the 7TH Canadian Inf Bde. Winnipeg Rifles were the lead Inf unit. |

I know this is D-Day but every year I feel embarrassed that I don't remember it untill 2-3 days later. I don't know why it happens. Its even more embarrassing since my Grandfather was part of the British Indian Army that held Imperial Japan at Burma. My family is damn proud of our participation and remembers my Grandfather and 2.5 Million of his brothers who not only stopped Japan, but also kicked Rommel's ass in N. Africa.
Without their sacrifice and service, I doubt any of us would be enjoying our lives today.

Blade, trust me, Rommel did NOT have his ass kicked in any way shape or form-his withdrawal was such that he couldn't be caught, I suggest a read of http://books.google.ca/books?id=jq0E...hout+hate&cd=1
Excellent read, and shows just how lucky the allies were due to Rommels poor re-supply!! I'm not takin anything away from your Grandfather Blade, respect

Over 10,000 Americans died during the D-Day attack between airborne and the landings. How soon we forget how bad war is and how many truely can perish in a battle.
