Honor

Operation Overlord, June 6, 1944.  Be ever mindful of the fact that your freedom came with a price.  In memory of the Allied Forces who landed on Normandy and never returned and in honor of those who made it back home.

Vanilla, we had a friend who made it back and years later was part of one of the anniversary celebrations. He shed tears even after those many years and is now in heaven with his lost buddies.

Vee, in 1984 I was on a plane to Europe and most of the passengers were vets and their spouses on their way to France for a memorial celebration of that event in which they were participants.

What an honor.

Such a cost!

Vee, it was that. And they were obviously on their way to celebrate-- in fact the celebration was already underway.

Sharkey tremendous cost.
