Today marks the anniversary of the invasion of Europe via the beaches of Normandy. My Uncle Carl was there that day and stayed in the European Theater until the end of WWII. Some years before his death Carl would finally talk about the time during and after June 6. His description of the landing at Normandy and the days following were both fascinating and horrifying! It was the last frontal assault of it's magnitude in a war, and marked the beginning of the end for Germany and the Third Reich.

Only seem appropriate that we take time today to remember those who landed in Normandy that day and their accomplishments as a result of the landing....
