68th anniversary.

When the anniversary comes around,it always takes me back to 1962. I was working this God awful smelly labor intensive job and one of the workers stopped and he asked one of his friend's if he knew what day this this was. He said he didn't know. He told him it was the 18th anniversary of D-Day. He said he landed on Omaha beach but other than that didn't want to talk about it. To put it in perspective,that's like something that happened in 1994.

He passed away this year at the age of 91. X

Sad. I think God has special favor on those who live in war.

I remember where I was on 9/11. My boss at the time told our dept to keep working and not pay attention. I almost clocked him.

The best... I mean the absolute BEST thing I did in the Army was be color guard at Utah Beach and the liberation of Carentan ceremonies at the 50th anniversary. That month in Normandy was so humbling and such an honor I can't beliieve how lucky I was to do it and hear the stories from both the vets and the French people whom we liberated. I wouldn't trade a lottery win for that experience.

Thanks to those that served this day.

We picked this date to wed 😣

My buddy just passed last year and was one of the few who survived the Battle of the Bulge.His name was Curly and he was a Hell of a Man !
