D-Day June 6th, 1944

Today commemorates the 67th anniversary of the allied invasion of Europe marking a major turning point in WWII. Many lost their lives so we could be free. Thank a veteran for this gift.

Our most sincere respect goes out to the souls who lost their lives and the families who lost their loved ones in order for us to enjoy our freedom today.

Cicero (55 B.C.) said...

What have we learned in 2,064 years ??

"The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled,public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance."
