666

6/6, regardless of the year, to me has always represented beginning of the turning of the tide in WWII. 62 years ago today was D-day.

I never knew anyone involved in the invasion. I would suspect that if I had they would never have been interested in talking it. A bloody day, a day where countless numbers of young men, the first to hit the beach, knew that stepping out of their landing craft meant almost certain death.

To the families of those who paid that price that day and to any survivors of the invasion itself, I salute you and you have my eternal gratitude.
