58 Years Later
I am still in awe of what transpired on this date, this evening all those years ago!
Thousands of crack Airborne troops of the 82nd Airborne & 101st Airborne were flying into "harms way" to make certain that us and all our children and grandchildren in our country would have this oportunity to sit here at this keyboard and live productive and meaningful lives in FREEDOM! God bless them all. And, ALL the hero's of D-day and all the battles before and after this one in WWII. They were (and still are) truly the GREATEST GENERATION of ANY Century! We can NEVER repay what they have given us.
