Yes, thanks to the Veterans...

I love the freedom to be able to drive Japanese cars...

Seriously, I am what I consider to be a patriot...gets me a little teary just thinking about some of the hardships that people went through just to capture and maintain our freedom...

Is it any wonder that the older generation had such an ethic? They have been thru things I can't even imagine, save for watching movies.
Hats off to any who served, You're a better man then me.

A good movie about this day is "The Longest Day". Available at your local Blockbuster.

Thank you, vets of that dreaded beach; doorway to fortress Europe. Thank you for your service, valor and bravery.
