V for Victory!: June 6, 1944: D-Day

 Today is the 68th anniversary of D-Day.  Please remember the sacrifices of those brave men who fought and died to liberate Europe and the world from the horrors of Hitler and the Nazis (who were left wing socialists, btw).  Pray for their memories and their sacrifice and if you know one, thank him.  Below is the annual D-Day posting from one of my favorite blogs for you to read and remember these brave men.  WHN and Dad always watch "The Longest Day", and she weeps during the St Mere Eglise scenes and the scenes of the beach landings.  

UPDATE-  NAZI- German, short for Nationalsozialistische deutsche Arbeiter-Partei, National Socialist German Workers' Party.

June 6, 1944: D-Day

Every year, V for Victory! commemorates the anniversary of the Longest Day: D-Day, the Normandy invasion.  It is necessary to keep alive the memory of the men who sacrificed so much to fight evil, especially now that evil threatens to engulf us once again, this time from within.
