Hitler and his SS troops got what they deserved. Let's remember Saddam the same way.
And thank God for those who suffered and died on D-Day for our freedom! Long may our flag wave (never mind the liberals in the Supreme Court!)

The 40th anniversary of D-Day happened to be the summer when I was 16. I had known about D-Day before, of course, but for some reason, probably because it was a big anniversary, I really paid attention to it that year. That changed my life.
I have since become a woman. I have read countless books on WWII, and many on Normandy. I have seen films and documentaries. I have even borrowed fairly obscure books from the library so I can read about the experiences of men who were there. And through it all, my feelings have remained the same. I feel a profound sense of gratitude, coupled with complete awe.
All through the year of 2001, I subscribed to a weekly news magazine. The issue following September 11th of that year was a special all about the terrorist attacks. There was a sentence which really struck me, and I wish I had written it down. The general essence was that we tend to think of heroes as people who do something huge and change the world, but that sometimes the boldest heroism consists in simply doing your job, and running into a burning building when other people are running out. Well, I think that's true, but I also have another definition of heroism. To me, a hero is a man who gets off a landing craft and continues to push upward on a beach, despite the rounds zipping past his head, cutting down the men near him. He's a man who can force his legs to carry him forward when every fiber of his being is telling him to run and hide because men all around him are being blown to bits. He's a man who pushes onward, knowing full well that he may never get off that beach. He's a man who gave the most precious thing he had so that I can be free.
That's what I think about on D-Day. Heroes.

After 18 years in the Army and two tours in the middle east, I still do not feel worthy of the title Soldier. Nothing I have done, seen, been through compares to what those brave souls encountered on that day.
I serve for their memory, their honor, their courage. That others may know of the price that has been paid for freedom.
All gave some.
Some gave all.

thank god for all the men and women, who served in WW2. the men who jumped out of the planes during the night or stepped off the boats during the day where very special people indeed, as were the support personal who went the extra mile to give all they could to support those brave men.

today they don't even teach this day in the school.
they should show saving pt. Ryan in the schools instead of feel good crap.
that opening scene in the movie was the most intense and realistic i ever saw . when i left the movie you could hear a pin drop.
if the public ever saw the number of deaths on that day,they would have surrender.

I thank God for those brave men who gave their lives for us.
@Bobby G below. I feel the same way after my 1 tour in Iraq, frankly I am embarrassed to talk about it to these real heroes.

thank you, Sunshine for putting this obtainable. D-Day became the very essence of "we are no longer gonna take it, anymore!". And we stood as much as the evil in this international. i think it fairly is getting time for individuals to have their very own D-Day at Election time. we could continuously rush the vote casting cubicles in numbers. And tutor Washington that "we are gonna take it anymore!"

Amazingly brave people. Who were aided by amazingly brave people living under nazi occupation. Let's hope the world never needs such bravery again.

To all the brave souls that sacrificed their lives that fateful day, to all their families, to the veterans who survived that day, thank you. You gave us our freedom, you make all of us, myself included, proud to have served our country, whether in time of war or peace.
