The beginning of the end for Nazi Germany

Today marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day. President Trump has delivered a wonderful tribute (full text at Breitbart), and CBD over at Ace of Spades has written a short, but good, commemoration. Woe to us if we ever forget the sacrifice these heroes made, or lose sight of what they were fighting for.



Update

This is impressive: "97-Year-Old American Parachutes for Second Time in France 75 Years Since He Last Did It on D-Day". Of course, considering the circumstances, that first jump 75 years ago is impossible to top.

    The boffins did their part at D-Day, too.
    “In the preparation for the June invasion, British and American geologists studied nearly one million aerial photographs of the Normandy shores, scouring the images for the ideal landing site…The Permian-Triassic metamorphic rocks found inland at Normandy turn into the medium-grained sands the invasion planners needed to literally support the landing.”

    My great uncle (grandpa's younger brother) was in Army Air Force intelligence during the war, as a photo interpreter. He was extremely busy in the weeks leading up to D-Day. He's in his 90s, but still likes to hint-brag that he's seen things that are still classified (that we were spying on the Russians in 1944-45, I imagine).

      Please relay our heartfelt gratitude to him. We are forever indebted to all, such as your grand uncle, whose service ended a great evil, liberated the oppressed, and preserved freedom and western civilization. May God continue to bless him!
