Thank you to those who have served and are currently serving. You should be thanked, every day.

In honor of my Dad, thankfully still with us.

He served over the Pacific in WWII as a bombadier, as a fighter pilot during Korea and the Cold War, and as an advisor to the South Vietnamese AF during that conflict.

Thanks, Dad, for your 28 years of service.

Today: D-Day plus 70 years.

150,000+ soldiers crossed the English Channel that day. Mostly American, British, and Canadian. More than 4,000 died with many more thousands wounded or missing.

But it was the beginning of the end for Hitler.

Interesting pictures here:
