D-Day, 1944. I can’t do it better than President Ronald Reagan from the 40th anniversary of D-Day (thanks for the audio, Patrick) or President Franklin Delano Roosevelt from that day 63 years ago (H/T – Charlie and audio courtesy Earthstation1.com), so I’ll leave the words to them.
They truly were a great generation.
Revisions/extensions (3:29 and again 3:40 pm 6/6/2007) – I decided to do a massive rewrite after checking Sykes Writes and finding FDR’s prayer to the nation from the longest day. I’ve also moved the FDR prayer on-site to make it easier to listen to.
