Sixty four years ago, on June 6th, 1944, is the day the Invasion of Normandy began. This day is also known as D-Day, a day when the allies began to try to liberate mainland Europe from Nazi Germany.

Let us all take a moment to reflect on, and remember, all of those who contributed to the liberation of mainland Europe (no matter what their country), whether in the military, back home doing their share, or by helping to rescue Jews from the Nazis.

Those men and women who died/sacrificed their lives on D-Day and during World War II deserve a moment of honor and reflection, as well as all of the living veterans, survivors and liberators who sacrificed their lives.

My own dear father served in WWII, and was always cognizant of the sacrifices so many men and women made in order for others to become liberated. He never forgot, until his dying day.
