Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
today is June 6th
On this date in 1944, US, Canadian and British forces made their invasion on Normandy. Please take a moment or three and remember the sacrafices made.
We lost a lot of good men 64 years ago today

Thanks for the reminder 7idl. This was one of the largest events that ever took place in world history and was the begininng of the end for Hitler. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to those who served on that day and all of the days since. Thank you all.

If you're a Ranger get up and lead the way!
We took two airplanes over there in 2004 for the 60th Anniversary. We picked up about 100 Rangers/Pathfinders from Ft Campbell and airdropped them on Sainte-Mère-Église on the 5th. On the 6th we all had the day off to get out and see the sights and talk with more Vets.
The evening of 5 June was a big celebration and huge get together for all the vets. Too meet these men and hear their stories was just incredible. I hope to get there again soon. Maybe take a nephew so maybe he will understand things and take less for granted.
I took about a bizillion pics, but here is a few.
