65 years ago today, men far braver than I embarked on one of the greatest military operations of all time. Canadians, British, Poles and Americans crossed the English Channel and began liberating France and the rest of Europe from Hitler's tyranny.
It is a bit of editorializing I know... and even if the western Allies hadn't invaded, Hitler would have gone down thanks to the Soviets. Still Europe today lies free and prosperous thanks to the sacrifices of many.
The name greatest generation isn't a misnomer.
So thanks to all who bravely sacrificed and endured... Hopefully my generations appreciation will extend further than "wow that makes a cool movie."
