75 Years ago today - June 6th 1944 - D-Day

[BlackDog]

I wanted to create a post for everyone to take part in.

It is the 75th anniversary of one of the greatest military operations of all time.

I encourage you all to have a look online today and post a single historical image that appeals to you for whatever reason from the D-Day invasion force.

I thought this was a great pic!



75 Years ago today, many gave their greatest sacrifice to ensure we have the right to enjoy our freedoms. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Travel, Freedom of Religion and Freedom to live our lives to our own beliefs, as opposed to indoctrinated propaganda and dogma.

THANK YOU to all the brave men and women that gave so much, mentally, physically and mortally. We will forever be in your debt.
