    Let us remember D-Day

    Today, 67 years ago, Allied forces began landing on the northern coast of Franceicon. I have a bit of a personal connection, my favorite uncle, Sgt. W. Lee Crowley (1915-1982) of Mobile, Alabama, jumped that morning as a member of B Company, 506th PIR, 101st Abn. Div. He's second from right in the photo, next to my Dad and my other two uncles.

    Nice family photo.

    D-Day was not much more than a footnote in the newspapers and on TV today, at least what I saw. That's very sad. So many gave so much that day and it barely matters to so few now.

    Great picture. Heard NOTHING regarding the Normandy landings today. Makes one depressed and sick at the same time.

    Honor to your uncle and to all the other boys who fought on D-Day.
