D-Day 75th Anniversary A Riff-Raff Perspective

 

The cooperation between nations; between different economic and social groups; and different individuals with different abilities and talents can only be described as awesome. The effort and creativity that went into making the largest and most technologically advanced amphibious landing (in complete secrecy) the success that it was is difficult to grasp without studying what was involved. However, of all the efforts and planning and preparation, it would not have worked without the incredible courage of those soldiers who had to do land and push back a determined enemy. 

 

It was an emotional experience to be able to reflect on the sacrifices and huge personal risks that the invasion forces took. It is a lesson in history we should never forget. 

 

The event at Portsmouth was enjoyable and humbling and went off peacefully, but I was left angry and disappointed by the idiotic protesters who could not put aside their own pathological contempt just for one day and commemorate true heroism like the rest of us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOkK5ovBy5A
