Folks - today is a day to remember D-Day and all those who gave all to get us a foothold in fortress Europe and start us on our way to the defeat of the Nazis.
What seems to be forgotten is it is also the time to remember those who fought and died on the other side of the world a few years earlier to help turn the tide with Japan. Over three days a small group of American pilots gave all to defeat the Japanese and start the long fight to Japan. Midway was a critical victory for us - not only for the military but the folks at home. . . we had gone against Japan and won a battle in a big way. . . . first time we had done that. . .
So lets take a moment and think about them all. Half a world and two years separated these two events but both were critical in our winning WWII.
Thank You vets for all you have given us. May we be truly worthy of your gift.
