I can’t get over the irony of the date of their decision, June 6th. On June 6th 1944 thousands of free men were slaughtered on the beaches at Normandy trying to free an enslaved Europe so that people could be free to live and worship (or not) in any way they chose. The world, including here, would be a far differrent place had they failed.
It’s one thing to be a pacifist it’s quite another to be an ingrate.
Normandy...this baby-boomer would love to visit that hallowed ground someday. Any time I think about seeing it in person, I picture myself falling to my knees and crying. The sacrifice of that day by great and good nations is being quickly forgotten.
If our military had not been victorious in WWII, we could have been speaking German and Japanese especially if they developed the A-bomb first.
