Just think, this AM you could have been making your way on to UTAH / Omaha or doing some leisurely climbing/hiking on Du Hoc.

I don’t suspect there was any Soy Latte in those canteens.

No soy lattes, just incredible courage, resolve, and resilience.

I spent 8 years in the 29th Inf Div. Tip of the spear. Beginning in 1987. Had it been 43 years earlier things would have been far different. And more so since I would not have been crewing a helicopter. God bless those guys.

As a Greek (Cold Warrior 9/1987-9/1989) I can have only positive feelings about June 6, 1944:

The Greeks Who Fought Together With the Allies on D-Day - GreekReporter.com

Greeks fought on the side of the Allies on D-Day, June 6, 1944, which was largest seaborne invasion in history.

As it concerns my wife's side of the family (she is German, daughter of an Army officer), it's another story...
