D-Day

Today is a day that all Americans should remember. Alas, they do not and most have very little knowledge of this date in history. I keep some rocks from Omaha Beach on my desk and actually had a co-worker ask my why I kept rocks from the beach in Nebraska. Ahh the millennial generation, destroying our culture (or forgetting it) one Facebook post and tweet at a time. 

One of my favorite quotes / pictures from D-Day: 
"You are about to embark upon the great crusade toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you...I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle." Dwight Eisenhower, June 6, 1944
