D-Day 6 June 1944

[BILLY D.]

My thanx to all the courageous souls who took part.

All gave some, some gave ALL.

My prayers and thoughts.

I'm going to borrow Rockys tag line here because I think it makes the true point.

As I remember it: Lots of us wear Medals and Ribbons on our chests, but true Heroes are draped in the whole flag.

Hope I did it justice Rocky.

Best wishes, Bill

Dittos!

I took a vacation day today and will be attending what is billed as the largest WWII reenactment in the nation: http://www.maam.org/maamwwii.html
This page has the Veterans that will be appearing: http://www.maam.org/wwii/ww2_guests.htm

I try to go every year. Its a good way to rub elbows with and learn more about the ordinary folks who wre called to do extraordinary things.

he would not speak of it until just recently; only for a few months before he died. all these years he kept it inside.
