D-Day: God Bless These Men Who Literally Saved the World

Today is America’s pride day, the 80th anniversary of the day when thousands of young American, British, and men from other allied nations stormed the beaches in Normandy to lead the campaign to save the world from tyranny. Operation Overlord, the D-Day invasion, was led by Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower, who would 8 years later be elected President of the United States.

A small cohort of the remaining few of these amazing men who literally saved the world, all of them either almost or over 100 years of age, gathered at Omaha Beach this morning to commemorate the occasion, when so many of their peers were killed.

God bless them all, these incredibly brave men who preserved for the rest of us the freedoms we now appear to be in the process of squandering.

That is all.
