  Amazing what can be done with  no more than will power.  And an entire country behind you.


   God bless them all.

I had no idea they took sand from Omaha beach and did this...makes sense though, they bought that land!

Obviously not a fan of the person posting this...but the tribute speaks for itself.

I listened to Trump’s speech that day, on my way to pick up my dad to take him to Ontario fishing. Made me weep at parts.

I listened to Trump’s speech that day, on my way to pick up my dad to take him to Ontario fishing. Made me weep at parts.

Perhaps like myself it is those moments when a story is told of one who lived through the unbearable...like the story of Ray Lambert and his brother, of Russell Pickett...the grand-daughter who serves as a guide at the cemetery and others who put fresh flowers on the graves.

It wasn't a long speech and didn't need to be, and he may not be a Reagan in delivery but he is in sincerity and I don't think he gets proper credit when it is due but nor do I think he needs it when he knows those to whom it means more to is all that matters.
