My thanks go out to them all. My maternal grandfather was there. He would never talk about the war though.
this day in 1944 was one of the single most important days of the 20th century.
God bless the men that made that day, for they had a hand in shaping the lives of every single one of us.
Im eternally greatful for thier sacrifice & courage. [Marine][Salute]
You should make a thread if possible and tell some of the stories if appropriate.Quote:

Thinking of these great people passing always makes me sad, not only for the loss of a great American life, but also the loss of some amazing stories.
Start a thread and everyone can share their families stories.Quote:
