D-Day: June 6, 1944

Why haven't I seen a single thread here today in commemoration of today's D-Day anniversary?

This is an important anniversary and without the sacrifices made that day, we wouldn't be able to be here today and discuss what we do daily.

Let's give a round of applause to those who sacrificed for us all 68 years ago today.

Thanks for the karma pin. I really think it's important for us to remember those who died for us and our freedoms...it is so easy to go on with our lives and forget.

Thank you OP, but I never forget and never forget to thank those who serve as does my son. At our Memorial Day parade I commented from the sidewalk to a sargeant who marched by that he should get himself a real jeep, referring to the Willys in front of him and he came over and shook my hand and we exchanged thanks. There are few of us who honor those who serve, but quality, not quantity is what counts in this game.

Oh, by the way, I had two uncles in that conflict, both are gone now, but both were GREAT men and I miss them very much! God Bless.

I was just getting pissed and ranting about that to my wife. WFT why is there no representation of D-Day? Hell, Google is remembering 'drive-in' movies! I served under HMLA...all this shit is Fucking pissing me off. Thanks for the support OP.

Sorry, are you asking us to celebrate innocent men being sent to their slaughter for the financial gain of a select few ?

My ancestors celebrate "Liberation Day" on May 5th, the day Holland was liberated.

The Canadians' liberated them on that day and was the reason why my father immigrated here after the war, he felt a kinship with the Canucks. I for one am grateful he did.

My uncle Robert participated in the D-Day invasion. He was a giant of a man, six feet seven inches tall. He was the only member of his landing craft to survive the landing.

He lost his mind in the fighting. In and out of army hospitals for the rest of his life. When he'd get "better" he'd be released and would spend time at our house. Very gentle man when he was "better".

I recall one day in 1961 when I came home from school, asked mom "Where's Uncle Robert" and she told me how around noon he'd become convinced that the Germans had taken the town (we lived in Vermont....) and went running off into the forest. My dad, my aunt, and the chief of police went into the woods to find him, did, and convinced him that the Germans had retreated. Back to the army hospital for Uncle Robert.

Eventually, he just stayed in the army hospital, VA hospitals. In the 1970's he was living in one in Maine and sent my mother a letter. He said that he'd been sitting in a rocking-chair watching the sunset, and Jesus had come up and put a hand on his shoulder. He wrote that that was the first time since the war that he'd felt at peace. He died shortly thereafter.

I think of Uncle Robert often, and especially on June 6.

Sorry folks, it may have been nothing more than a Zionist, Black Sorcerer, CABAL of Masons....

Orgy of MURDER...

Banks on BOTH SIDES made FANTASTIC PROFITS at the expense of the taxpayers and soldiers.

If the fallen could only see what happened to the U.S. since that fateful day I think they would storm the shores of the Potomac and scale the face of the U.N. building.

Bless 'em all.

I would like to thank anyone and everyone that was in that horrendous battle.I pray to God that we never have to experience something like that again. I also ask God to touch with his healing hand, anyone still feeling the grief and pain of that awful day. I ask him to heal them of their pain and remind everyone,that our loved ones lost on that day are with you happy and safe. Men should never have to kill or be killed in those ways.Please understand that we deserve better and are better. It's our job as loving individuals, to never resort to such methods. May God bless us all and heal our imperfections every day.I pray you give me better understanding so that I may be understood better. In your sons loving name I ask these things.

My heart goes out to all the families and individuals that have ever been torn apart by war.

Unfortunately war has never created peace or freedom, only peace, love and compassion can create all that most of us desire.

I have a very hard time commemorating a day were thousands were killed for what they thought was right, both sides.

I only wish strength of heart and mind in the coming times that more will choose love than any other.

Fighting fear, anger and hatred with violence only creates more.

Do it for my beautiful innocent children!

What is BS? The fact that people died so you can sit on your computer and post a stupid smiley on a message board?

But what of "The Revolutionary War" of The United States against the established British Colonies?



Are you saying that it didn't produce one of the best documents to date for the freedom of mankind?

This war DID produce freedom for a few dozen decades at least.

After that things get debatable.
