• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Today in 2017 marks the 73rd anniversary of the beginning of the end of the Third Reich with the invasion of Normandy. Take a moment and reflect on the terror , on both sides, that the participants felt in that early morning of the Longest Day, which for many were their last moments on this earth.

It's amazing how many younger people actually know what June 6th, 1944 was in history. I was suitably impressed with one particular young chap when he not only knew what today was, but he knew all of the beach head battle fronts and the strategy's that were in place which led up to the assault on Normandy. Too bad there aren't more like him... this country would be better off for it.

Lest we forget.... All gave some, some gave all.
