Normandy 70 Years Later..

[WILMASBOYL78]

Thought I would begin this a little early since I'll be "in the woods" starting tomorrow. This Friday marks the 70th anniversary of the Allied Invasion of Normandy, June 6th, 1944. This was the greatest amphibious invasion in military history and was truly the beginning of the end for the Third Reich. Less than 11 months later Germany surrendered and the war in Europe was over.

Please take time to remember this Friday the incredible sacrifices that were made on that historic day so long ago...and also take a moment to remember all those who have served before and after. The price of the freedom we cherish so dearly was paid for by these heroes...in many cases with their lives. We need to always pay honor to their legacy.

Lest we forget...
