Feel free to write your thoughts about those heros who stormed the beaches at Normandie 70 years ago today.
Wow.
A cool bit of Trivia:
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Commander of the combined Allied Forces at the invasion, hastily wrote two letters: one praising the troops, were the invasion to be a success. The other, in handwriting, a letter to take full and sole blame for the invasion were it to fail.
I saw that letter in the Smithsonian in the summer of 1997, part of a rotating exhibition.
