For those Bleeding Hearts, with the Big Mouths about Iraq Lose of Lives.

Today is a Time to remember what the Cost of Victory is and not just in
money. It was a very costly Battle in lives lost but people fought
knowing the risk of death was very high. They went willingly and Stopped
the Mad Men of the Nazi Germany.

God Bless You; "Gold Star Heroes!"

No doubt Ol Thom

Today ~ 1944 - In Operation Overlord, Allied invasion fleet (over 2700
ships and craft) land troops on Normandy beaches, the largest
amphibious landing in history.

The first use of floating tanks, Ducks, Mulberry harbors, and the
birth of the computor.
Can you imagine almost 3000 ships and boats in a 10 mile streach.

Have you ever been to Normandy Ol Thom? Seems you might have the cash
on hand to take a few nice vacations.
