Very nice tribute!!!!! Amen.
We owe that generation so much, yet we tend to forget their sacrifice. My grandfather was there and survived. We always "joked" with him saying he was "driving the boat" ashore...but he wasn't. He was holding hands in prayer with his "brothers" 2 minutes before they hit the beach. I would always get choked up just seeing the look in his face when he "tried to describe" what went on. That look stays with me to this day, even 10 years after he passed away.
It's that look that tells me to ask others this:
Can we all just take a moment to "remember" those who have served and have fallen to give us our FREEDOM? Not just on certain days of the year, but everyday of the year. Then can we all just take a moment to say "THANK YOU" to those who continue to serve and protect us. Next time you see a soldier, despite your views or opinions, just THANK THEM for what they have done and continue to do!
Thank a soldier - you owe them that.

Doing my best to stay on track and to live each day to it's fullest, trying not to upset people along the way. I have no enemies.....just friends who don't understand my point of view.
