I salute and thank ALL the vets from the tip of the spear to the rear-echelon who made D-Day possible. A special salute to our local 29th Blue-Gray Division who hit Omaha Beach. Your sacrifices are remembered. -- Al

My Uncle Leo (my dad's oldest brother) USN, was on one of the ships delivering the good news to the Germans ashore.

Just to pay my respects today to every single service man and woman,from every nation, who on this day all those years ago played their part in liberating Europe from the hatred,intolerance,murder and racism Germany had thrust upon the world and ensured freedom from all of us. Your sacrifice will always be remembered and gratitude for it everlasting.

My father Forrest D. Samuel landed on the beaches D-Day +3, he was a skilled metal wielder and worked on alot of damaged tanks and so forth, he rarely ever discussed what he saw inside of those damaged tanks except for a few times, which you can only imagine some of the damage a shell can do to a human body once it enters a tank, all of the young men who saw war at that young age are heros to me, and I agree with Tom Brokaw.. "The greatest generation"...Sammy

As a little lad living in Essex near Tilbury I remember the hordes of soldiers and vehicles filling every field and lined up along the roads. And then one day they were gone, off to the beaches of Normandy. God bless them all. Trooper
