  Today is D-Day.

  D-Day.  69 years ago brave men, fighting for people they would never meet invaded the European continent at Normandy.  They went to defend and set free people they would never know.  It changed the course of the world.  It changed everything.

  I wonder how they teach it in schools today.  Our society is so politically deranged that you can’t even mention guns or weapons and war is always portrayed as evil.  How do they teach the bravery and the sacrifice of these men?  How do they teach a just war?  I hope and pray that they do acknowledge it truthfully.  That political correctness has not removed it from the history books.

  For all the men who gave their lives for freedom.  Thank you.  For the families that gave their loved ones to defeat evil.  Thank you.  For those that supported at home through daily life.  Thank you.  Because of these people my life as it is has been possible.  I do not like to consider the alternative.
