June 6th, 1944 was the most single most important day of the 20th century. We should never forget those who fought on the beaches of Normandy.

George (Warrior) mentioned these words to me and I did a little research and found that these words appear on a Normandy chapel (I'm not sure how the phrase originated however):

"They gave up their tomorrows so that we may have our todays."

I have read a lot of interesting and poignant remarks made by everyone from Memorial Day up to and including today. I have asked myself and unfortunately, it comes from going through it, how do you honor a vets sacrifice? Here is what I came up with:

To the vet who lost his/ her arm-

I promise to hold my wife's hand and hug my children and others I love because of you I can and you cannot

To the vet who lost his/her leg-

I promise to turn off the TV and get out and run, walk or cycle and enjoy that I can still move about on my own because of your sacrifice;

To the vet who lost his/her eyesight-

I promise to awaken this morning and look at the world in a different and beautiful light- because of your sacrifce, I can see the world anew;

To the vet who lost his/her hearing-

I promise to take the time to listen to my kids tell me their problems or that they love me or to listen to a friend with a problem because of your sacrifice I can hear the world anew;

To the vet who lost his/her life-

I promise to give today my all because you were asked to and you did.

I think of these lines every day and try my best to live it through.

The reason I vote in every election is, not because I like the candidates, it is because I feel I owe it to at least one of those guys who died on D-Day, or any other War.I'm not just saying this, its true, I feel at least one of those soldiers like my father, would be happy to know this. Mike
