Today - D Day
I went to the VFW in honor of the battles at Normandy. I am so overwhelmed with pride of those men who fought on the beaches. Today is also the anniversary of Midway. |

The WWII Memorial (Above) There are 4,000 stars on this wall and each one represents 100 men that gave their lives during the war.* The United States entered the Second World War in 1941 not to conquer, but to liberate a world fast falling to the forces of tyranny. The World War II Memorial honors the 16 million who served in uniform, of whom more than 400,000 gave their lives. It also honors the many millions who supported the war effort on the home front and celebrates the American spirit, national unity, and victory. It recognizes the price paid by families.

One of the first actions Hitler took to gain control was deny the right to bear arms. |

History was never a subject that I enjoyed particularly because it's difficult reading. Thanks for presenting it visually. It really brings it to life for me and so many others.

Great Escape veteran dies at 97 Associated Press LONDON – A survivor of the Great Escape plot by Allied prisoners in a German prison in World War II has died. His family said Jack Harrison died Friday at age 97 at Erskine veterans' home in Bishopton, Scotland. Harrison was a Royal Air Force pilot who was shot down and captured on his first mission in 1942. He was part of the plot to escape from Stalag Luft III in 1944, retold in the film "The Great Escape." However, he was not among the 76 who broke out. Harrison was 98th on the list to go, but guards detected the 77th escape. Of the 76 who escaped, only three got to safety. Fifty were executed on Adolf Hitler's orders, and 23 others were returned to custody. |

Other WWII stories
My maternal Aunt's husband was a member of the elite group of men who trained in secret in Colorado, developing skills to fight the enemy in snow, (skiing) they wore all white, I'm embarrassed to say that I cannot recall the name of this elite group of fighting men, if any of his records are recovered this year, (after litigation) i will share more of his and his comrades stories.
Perhaps Jet, you know of those i speak? There is a web site somewhere that describes their fighting techniques..... wish i had bookmarked it.... |

Ittybittyfemme, My nephew is or was in Germany. Thank you for your prayers. Oh the men I met from the invasion of Normandy...they bring tears to my eyes. The stories they have shared with me just make me so very proud to be an American. You can better believe that I thought of your father whenever I am in their presence. When I go to DC to the WW2 Monument, I always place flowers where the men want me to. I try to hit all four sides of the monument (the Atlantic, Pacific, and so on). They have such pride when they are there. The one thing that they don't like is the cement block that the last Bush signed. I have to agree with them on that. |
