Forever memorialized as "D-Day" we pause to remember those who served in that ugly conflict, respecting them with due honor and gratitude for their sacrifices. Casualties were extremely high in number.

May we never forget.
I fear that enough generations have passed that D-Day is becoming a faint story, almost folklore, like Washington crossing the Potomac.
