D-Day
I remain forever in awe of the brave Americans who landed in Normandy 61 years ago today and all those who fought and died for freedom.

Doug,
I could not agree with you more. It is because of their sacrifices that you and I can dialogue, disagree, and just plain vebally duke it out on any subject at any time at any place.
If you see a veteran today, thank him or her. If you see a D-Day Veteran, a big hug would be most appropriate.

Amen to that, Doug.

The last D-Day survivor I knew died a few months ago. I still miss him. He and his brother survived that day and later as POW's.
I visited the D-Day museum in England about six weeks after it opened in 1984 (I was 17) with my grandfather, who was a B-17 ball turret gunner in Europe during WWII. This was right around the time Tom Brokaw visited the museum and got going on his books. I was just as impressed as he was.

Patrick,
If you get the chance, there is a great D-Day Museum in New Orleans. It would certainly be a great supplement to your England visit.
