Most of us probably don’t connect June 6th with
anything more than balmy summer weather and maybe a little vacation time with
the family. Turn the calendar back to 1943, though, and you will land on the
day of the Allied invasion of Normandy, D-Day. So, while enjoying the
tranquility of summer pause a moment to think of all those young men who perished
on a French beach for the sake of freedom and say a silent thank you to those
who gave everything for what we all too often take for granted.
