Seventy years ago today the largest invasion force in the history of the world was assembled to begin the liberation of France and the rest of Europe from Nazi Germany's control. More than 130,000 troops were involved and by the end of the day more than 10,000 were either killed, wounded or captured. Imagine the bravery of those men who attacked a hunkered down, dug in, well armed German army. Those men knew in attacking those beaches that many lives, possibly their own would be lost. This is bravery that is hard to even comprehend....We should be proud, grateful but most of all we should never forget those brave men many of who gave their lives so that we can live free....
No greater love than a man would lay down his life for another. God bless all our troops, past, present and future!
