The Twitters from the D-Day sites have begun:bbc_hampshire #dday65 My best moment today is when a Belgian re-enacter asked for a New Forest veteran's 'autograph' & thanked him for his freedom

Let us pray Obama does well in his speech tomorrow and does nothing to embarrass us... as a nation... on this most significant day.
Your words to God's ear, Buck - I actually erased the snide comment I had written at the end of the post.
I just put my second post up. The "Boys of Pointe du Hoc" speech by Reagan is great. That was my first post.
But even better is the second Reagan speech.
I am coming back later when I have more time and check out all the links. On this D-Day, give thanks for the soldiers who gave all for us, I know you will....
Thanks for the great D Day posts! We can never forget those great troops!
