Tomorrow, June 6, marks the 67th anniversary of D-Day. On this day, I always go back and re-read a section from Andy Rooney's 1995 book, "My War."
There have been only a handful of days since the beginning of time on which the direction the world was taking has been changed for the better in only one twenty-four hour period by an act of man. June 6, 1944, was on of them.
What the Americans, the British, and the Canadians were trying to do was get back an entire continent that had been taken from its rightful owners and whose citizens had been taken captive by Adolf Hitler's German army. It was one of the most monumentally unselfish things one group of people ever did for another.
Take moment or two on Monday to remember what happened on the beaches of Normandy 67 years ago.
