I am appalled at the total lack of reference to the most important date in the ETO. No documentaries, no old war movies and very little reference to it on the news, mainly just a footnote in the "Today in History" section. Glenn Beck did spend 30 or so minutes discussing it on his radio show, but as far as TV goes, nothing. The "History Channel", where it should have been shown, ran back to back "Pawn Stars" all day and night, save for one episode of "Swamp People".
If the feats of these brave heroes that fought so valiantly on that day of days is swept under the throw rugs of history to run back to back "Pawn Stars" then I fear we are losing our connection of who we are, where we came from and what we went through to become the greatest nation history has ever seen.
For me, I spent an hour sitting outside looking up at the stars and reflecting on what these courageous, and mostly seasick, troops faced and the horror it must have been storming the beaches under such heavy machinegun and artillery fire. I also thanked God for each and every one of them who gave their lives to keep our great country free from oppression during those dark times in our history.
May God bless our soldiers and the "Greatest Generation". Thank you for all you've selflessly done for our country for we would not be a country without you.
