Today is the 63rd Anniversary of D-Day. The battle that began the US's European campaign during WWII, and began the chain of events that led to the fall of the tyrannical Axis. Today was the bloodiest, most devastating battle ever known to man. An invasion on the beaches of normandy, france...more soldiers, American, and German died in the short attacks on this day, than any other day in history. Just remember, that all of those people died, for the things we live for today. Had the US not won this battle, there is no telling how this war would have turned out. There is no telling how the world would have turned out. Remember, and honor them.

Shmotz you always find a way for us to rally around our troops and I appreciate that more than anything. Most of us have only seen the true outcome of these events in movies and it is horrible. If anyone in this clan was there when it happened I would love to hear your account, I don't think there is but I could be wrong wouldn't be the first time. There is no way a film can make a real account of facts and numbers. Close your eyes and picture jumping off a boat where people are being killed all around you and you are dead in the sights. Much love shmotz you represent us well, you are a great ambassador for this clan and I wish you nothing but the best. I hope you make it back safe and some day we will all be at a LAN talking hella shit getting drunk and having the best of times.

Very well said Shmotz and to the others.
Even though I was not there and I have heard that the best representation of the beaches was in the movie Saving Private Ryan. If you have not seen it I would suggest doing so, good movie.

see not trying to take any credit thats what makes soldiers so great. they go they fight they protect and don't see it as something to brag about or anything special and that IS what makes it so special.
