Thank you, Sammy, for the reblog. I grew up right where the Allies liberated France and Europe. My gratitude is profound.
I can only imagine how you must feel about the invasions in your homeland, and what your families experienced. My father and uncles were in the Marines fighting in the Pacific Islands. My heart belongs to all who participated.
Thank you for posting this, Sammy–I’ve reblogged it too. Beautifully written, sensitive, evocative. D-Day has never been as real for me as it is today.
Thanks, Melinda, for passing this on through your blog and your stirring words there. We must carry these stories forward. I so fear we will forget the evil done by man against man. Ignorance, complacency and appeasement will be our undoing.
I agree. I do my best to contend with ignorance (the primary focus in all my classes is on critical thinking) but complacency is hard to fight.
Complacency is dooming our country ( or does every aging generation feel that way?!?)
