D-Day: Sixty Eight Years Ago Today

Sixty-eight years ago, the allies began to take back the continent of Europe.

At the time (and I think still) the Normandy invasion was the largest amphibious assault in the history of the world. No one knew how it would turn out. Today, we take it for granted that the allies succeeded in retaking Europe, but this was a gamble. In fact, Eisenhower was so worried, he actually drafted a letter in case the invasion failed. As it turned out, we prevailed, and he didn't need that letter.

No complaining about your day today.
