D-Day, 65 years later

65 years ago today, American troops stormed Normandy's Omaha Beach in the largest amphibious assault in the history of warfare (29,000 American soldiers dead, 106,000 wounded and missing).

In 1984, President Reagan gave a stirring speech at Pointe Du Huc where he honored the U.S. Army's 2nd Ranger Battalion who triumphed after losing more than 60% of their men valiantly scaling the 100ft cliffs under heavy Nazi fire.

The world owes a colossal debt of gratitude to all the men and women who unflinchingly stared evil squarely in the face and selflessly gave of themselves in the name of freedom. Luckily this struggle didn't occur in modern times, as the mainstream media would have certainly handled things differently than their counterparts in 1944.



Earlier this year, President Obama couldn't be bothered to honor America's war dead at Normandy when he visited the area, fearing he would offend the Germans by doing so. Luckily, The One took time from genuflecting before the world's Muslim population to attend D-Day services today.
