The greatest generation! The other allied nations lost thousands more. A day of incredible sacrifice.

it was horrific to say the least , unimaginable is a better word and to think , some 80 years later we as a race of beings have learned very little from these types of things and continue to let greed and other agendas continue this path ....
makes me sad to think we have not learned how to coexist peacefully ....
to be very sure I tip my hat to those that gave up so much for us to remain a free country

[SuperDave336]

My grandfather (Purple Heart recipient) was there. Never liked talking about it much. I agree the greatest generation!!!

It's sad to me, so much learned then pushed aside by bureaucrats who's greed for the almighty dollar. Many lives lost, for what??? My Dad, Retired in June 1970 with 32 yrs in Corps. Many Campaigns overseas, and war zones. He also didn't talk much about them. Didn't care for politics nor politicians much either. Figured they are what got him into some real sticky situations. Couldn't go through a metal detector without setting it off either. One of, if not THE Best Generations for sure...

Some of us do care and remember the sacrifices of those gone before us.

I couldn’t have said it better Mstr Dan. It was all movies and playing army when I was a kid. Never crossed my mind back then the real expense for what we all call normal. Nothing good to say at all about politicians.

Thank you Mstr Dan. Some of us do care and remember much more than others. Remove my hat and put it away this day, as well as other days in my heritage. Texas Independence March 2, 1836. Texas A&M muster, April 21 each year, San Jacinto field day - tradition meeting evolved to include a memorial to those who are absent. We all announce "Here" when being called upon. My heritage goes deep into the Republic of Texas. No emojis here.
