Lest Anyone Forget...

Wading ashore June 6, 1944, on the coast of France under heavy Nazi machine-gun fire, were these American soldiers, shown just as they left the ramp of a Coast Guard Higgins landing boat. The operation at Omaha Beach involved 50,000 men and was part of the largest single-day amphibious invasion in history. D-Day casualties at Omaha numbered around 5,000, most in the first few hours.

This entire impactful episode miraculously slipped our President's mind when he vainly tired to recall what America has contributed to our world today during an Islam-praising speech in Cairo.

May you spare a moment today to remember the sacrifices of those who have gone before us, this 65th anniversary of Operation Overlord, the allied invasion on the beaches at Normandy, June 6th, 1944.
