65 Years ago today...

guys my nephews age were on and preparing to be on a beach swarming with Nazi's and their pillbox's. A pillbox is a concrete bunker, usually the concrete is about 4 feet thick, with a "window" about 1 foot by 3 feet to see and shoot out of. The Nazi's had these pillbox's all along the beach pointing their machine guns at our boys as they hit the beach.

The music you hear was on the hit parade in 1944. If they had had Ipods, many of them would have been listening to this music as they prepared to storm Normandy.

If you find yourself in a patriotic mood this evening and want to watch something WWII D-Day ish, you can't go wrong with any of these choices:

Ike: Countdown to D-Day

Band of Brothers

Saving Private Ryan

Whatever you do today take some time to remember the greatest generation.
