D-Day, Sixty Five Years LaterCarlo D'Este | June 01, 2009 | 2 comments | Print | E-mail In June 2009 the attention of the world, however briefly, will once again be focused on Normandy. It will be an occasion to re-affirm that the sacrifice of those who fought the battles and campaigns of the most devastating war in history will never go unremembered. On June 6, take just a moment out of your busy day to reflect on the sacrifice of those “bunch of guys” who did the impossible sixty-five years ago. It was that common purpose: the spirit and grit shown on D-Day that has permitted democracies to survive. This is what we celebrate on June 6, 2009.

“They call us the ‘greatest generation.’ I don’t know . . . We were just a bunch of guys.” That pretty much covers it. It is what also makes them the greatest generation.

President Reagan’s awesome speech is an address to posterity.
Thanks for reminding us of this man, who would never apologize to the world for America’s greatness and for the unparalleled sacrifies of the country’s “greatest generation.”
