Thanks to the WW 2 Veterans on this 70th anniversary of D Day We wouldn’t be the same without you!!!
America did not storm the beaches at Normandy alone on June 6, 1944.
We had allies who fought with us.
Allies from Britain, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and Poland.
As a child I heard stories of Omaha , General Patton and D-Day.
Every year on the anniversary of DDay, French citizens take sand from Omaha Beach and rub it onto the gravestones of fallen soldiers who gave their lives to liberate Europe. It gives the letters a golden shine. They do this for all 9,386 American soldiers buried there.
Chaque année, à l'occasion de l'anniversaire du DDay, les citoyens français prennent du sable d'Omaha Beach et l'étalent sur les tombes des soldats tombés au combat qui ont donné leur vie pour libérer l'Europe. Cela donne aux lettres un éclat doré. Ils font celà pour les 9'386 soldats américains qui y sont enterrés.
On this day, 82 years ago, on June 6, 1944, Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr., age 56, landed with the first wave of infantry on Utah Beach during the Allied invasion of Normandy.
Roosevelt was the assistant division commander of the 4th Infantry Division. He suffered from arthritis and had a heart condition. He walked with a cane. Despite this, he personally requested to go ashore with the first wave of troops. His request was approved.
When Roosevelt landed, he immediately realized that the landing craft had drifted nearly 2,000 yards south of their assigned beach. The units were scattered. The beach was under fire. Shells landed nearby. German machine guns swept the shoreline. Officers and men were disoriented. Command structure was breaking down.
Roosevelt made a decision. He walked up and down the beach under fire. He located commanders. He assessed the terrain. He determined the new location could still support the mission. He ordered the troops to press forward from that point. He said, “We’ll start the war from right here.”
Throughout the morning and afternoon, Roosevelt moved across the sand and the sea wall, personally directing units, grouping scattered soldiers, and assigning objectives. He organized columns and pointed them toward exits from the beach. He made contact with naval gunfire units and adjusted fire on enemy positions inland.
He repeatedly exposed himself to enemy fire while moving between positions. He brought up reinforcements and guided them through minefields and along cleared paths. At multiple points, he led troops directly through enemy zones to ensure progress inland. His leadership stabilized the beachhead and enabled the division to achieve its initial objectives with fewer casualties than expected.
Roosevelt remained on the beach all day. He never sought cover. He refused to rest. He coordinated with both division staff and regimental units as they established a foothold in enemy territory.
One month later, on July 12, 1944, while serving in France, Roosevelt died of a heart attack. He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery. His grave lies next to that of his younger brother Quentin Roosevelt, a pilot killed in World War I.
For his actions on June 6, 1944, Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
Today is D-Day +81 years. For some people, that’s a lifetime come and gone. For others, it’s a moment in history that we read about in books, and watch in films. For all of us, it’s a day that we stop and remember the ultimate sacrifices made by the men and women of our armed forces as they fought for freedom. It’s our job now, to keep their memories and their names, alive. To remind the world what they fought for, and that they did not die in vain.
Lest we forget.

Back in the day
Nice company at the beach
Love when I see joggers go by.
Someone’s got ideas on what to do
Such a turn on when there is someone else wanting to join in.
