Photos: The Allied invasion of Normandy - CNN.com 67 years ago "The Greatest Generation that ever Lived" layed everything they had out on the shores of a lonely stretch of shoreline code-named UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD, JUNO and SWORD. How lonely of a day that must have been from the time of departure from the Mulberry Harbors to the fox hole that was finally dug all the time under a barrage of bullets and shrapnel. One cannot imagine what went through the minds of all those men...hopefully not a bullet. I have a customer whose father landed on Juno during Operation Overlord with his Sherman Tank and 1,200 miles later he was at the Brandenburg Gates. He is a good Canadian Soldier who was an integral part of something far bigger than him, an epic in time for which the entire world is forever indebted to so few. Winston Churchill once said "never was there such a point in time where so much was owed to so few by so many". If only the dead can see what a disgrace Western man has become. No pride, no virtue, morally rotted, people don't even know whether they're male or female anymore. We do everything to accommodate the weirdo's in our culture and at the same time trample our tradition. And then there's the ultimate scourge...ISLAM...this is not what our ancestors fought and died for.
