Last night I found myself watching D-Day/Return of the 507th on GPB TV last night. It was a great documentory recalling the D-Day invasion and following days. It was amazing hearing the stories and experiences that our guys endured.
The documentory was based around the reunion and unveiling of a memorial for 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Towards the end one of the Veterens was aproached by a youg French boy, who asked him “why were you here on D-Day?” The man paused for a minute to think, his reply was “so that you can be here today”. I thought that was a great summary of what Memorial Day was all about.
I’d like to give a special thank you to all who serve in the armed forces and to those who lost their lives fighting for our freedom. THANKS
