Though I respect and honor those who fought and died, I do not envy the things they faced over there. It was brutal.

I haven't made it there yet, but it is something that I will do in the next 10 years hopefully.

What was done on those beaches, in the skies overhead, and the fields just inland...man. Too much for words.

If you don't tear up in the cemeteries, you are not human.

If your family is from Virginia, you don't forget June 6. The 29th infantry division's 116th regiment was the first ashore at Omaha beach and was mercilessly chewed up. it was a regiment comprised of mostly Virginia boys. Proportionally, the town of Bedford VA suffered the heaviest loss of any locale in the U.S.on D-Day.
