We cannot even fathom what those men went through on that day 80 years ago, the withering gun fire, death all around, many did not even make it off their landing craft. Most of us have seen the epic movie "Saving Private Ryan" and that is the closest many of us will ever get to understanding what they did, and how they were able to survive. Just thinking about how these men knew they were going to die, yet they still charged off the LCVP's, or Higgins boats, sends chills up my spine along with a deep feeling of respect and awe, to even walk on the same ground as these veterans from all nations who were there, I feel I would have to ask for permission first. If you watch any of the thousands of interviews featuring those men, both from our own country and the allied forces, they all seem to think it was not a big deal, they were "just doing our job" they would tell you. Truly the greatest generation, and they came back home after WWII and became one of the most productive work forces our world has ever seen. Incredible. Thank you to the men who served that day and didn't make it back, and to the veterans both past and present from all the countries that were represented in the invasion for saving our world that day.
