    I'm now part of the same unit as my grandfather when he, as a company commander, landed on the beaches of Normandy.

    All of the above.

    Thank you to these brave men who landed on the beaches, parachuted in, manned the ships, and flew the planes.

    Thank you for remembering! I have to remind everyone I work with about D-Day and most of them are Vets!

    Stephen E Ambrose's D-Day: June 6, 1944 is a great read because it is mostly first hand accounts and interviews. I would highly recommend it if you have any spare time, and I know you do.
    My Feedback

    "When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law." -Frederic Bastiat

    "I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so. Yet, out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin."
