as an isolationist country prior to WW II with war raging in Europe and the Pacific with a small military and taking care of ourselves, this country was forced into war without warning or provocation when Pearl Harbor was bombed. The greatest generation are those who served to protect this nation and our values/way of life some which are in jeopardy today.
Friday is the 75th anniversary of D DAY, please remember those who served as many of us had relatives there. Many are gone with a few left.
Personally, my father is credited flying the first observation plane over the Channel to direct gunfire and lived later to observe the tyranny of a socialist nation under Hitler when Dachau concentration camp was liberated.
Although at Dunkirk some sailboats were used to evacuate the Allies prior to our intervention, my father use to tell me as a child seeing a few sailboats in the Channel headed toward Normandy during the Invasion If there are any photos of any sailboats used during the Normandy Invasion crossing the English Channel, would you please post them here as I have never have seen any.
Again, remember those who served and those who are still alive as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of D Day on Friday. I salute all who served to protect our values and way of life. Thank you on a job well done.
