51 years ago today, combined forces from America, Britain, France, and Canada made the largest amphibious landing in human history, braving machine gun fire and harsh weather on the beaches of Normandy, France. Through their brave sacrifices and herioc efforts, the face of freedom was eventually preserved throughout the world as the -blam!-s were slowly driven back into Germany and defeated.
I'm very greateful to those brave men, not much older than I am, who were on the beach that day, taking place in what I consider to be one of the most important events in modern history.
I dunno, I just felt like pointing it out.
