This morning, in 1944, over 150,000 Americans, British, Free French, Canadian and assorted other allies invaded France to take back Europe from the Germans.
Many of those that stepped foot in the beaches that day didn't see June 7th, even those that did see D-Day plus 1 didn't see the end or World War II.
I had two grandfathers that served in Europe during this time. Bob Hurst was in the British Army and Owen Cullen was in the Merchant Marines assigned to the Atlantic. Both my boys carry the names of these brave men.
Thank God for these amazing men and women that participated in Operation Overlord.
We freely speak English today because of you.
