It's that time again. It is noticed every year with fewer and fewer original participants to visit and enter stage left for the cameras and be rightfully hailed for actually pushing back the Germans on the continent of Europe and marking the beginning of the end to a enormous and desperate war. On D Day, men in that attack did it for the folks back home and their nations sovereignty....each allied nation. They were truly saving the world for democracy. Every one of them that died, died for the citizens of their country. Anybody remember the date of the invasion of Iraq? Anybody remember the date for Afghanistan? Certainly nobody remembers the date for Vietnam? Korea? Not to speak of multitudes of lessor stuff....that British thing with the island off the coast of South American or American troops in Granada or whatever any of the various US Navy Seals groups are doing today that we don't know about. Maybe it's because none of those other conflicts linked the dead soldier to the live citizen back home.

It hardly got a murmur on the news in the UK - too much coverage of Trump and his Trade War,,,,,,,,
