• 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.

... "The Longest Day". Let us all not forget that on this date in history was the date that marked the beginning of the end and the start of freeing Europe from Nazi Germany. Let us not forget those young men who fought across, and died, on those beaches. I visited Omaha Beach once in the fall and the people of the coastal cities to this day can't do enough for you to thank you for that day 80 years ago. They don't forget let the rest of the world follow their example.

Next year will be the 80th anniversary, this will a really great moment for all those who will attend.
In any case the celebration of d day, one of the most important event in History, is an excellent opportunity to remind to the youngest that all previous generations have paid an immense tall to the freedom of mankind and the comfort of many.
It is a lesson to share that fearing and crying is helpless when danger is coming.
Time were not better in the past, ancestors of 99.9% have essentially survived during a short, sometimes very short, life.
So enjoy the time and work to build a better one. Don't wait.
