HONORING OUR VETERANS ON THIS DAY

[Rana Goodman]

The Normandy landings (code named Operation Neptune) were the landing operations on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 (termed D-Day) of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. The largest seaborne invasion in history, the operation began the liberation of German-occupied northwestern Europe from Nazi control, and contributed to the Allied victory on the Western Front.

It was this ending that most assuredly saved MY FAMILY and many of those all over Europe since it put an end, once and for all to the push to take over the world from Adolph Hitler. It brought my father home from Africa and gave the UK a much-needed peace and a chance to rebuild once again.

But the end of the Viet Nam war was most likely what touched most of our veterans right here in Anthem the most. For that, many of them never received the thanks or the honor that was due them.

 

We honor them for their unbelievable bravery, for facing what they   have been a hell on earth that we can only imagine. We can only hope and pray that we never see another war like these in our life time. We thank you all who served and the families who lost your loved ones in the service of your country.

Please let us not forget our allies too,  and the young men and women TODAY SERVING IN THE MIDDLE EAST.  May they come home soon safe and sound….

veterans all……. God bless all of you.!  Miss you Dad…..
