Just a reminder to take a moment and think about the brave men who 65 years ago made the landing at Normandy and began the chain of events that ended the evil of the Nazi regime.

I watched the ceremony from France. It was nice to see Canada represented with the other major leaders. Canada's contributions to WWII and Normandy are often overlooked due to the British influence and it was nice to see.

I will give the Devil his due, Obama made a great speech and good on him to recognize the sacrifices of Russia who made the impossible possible in terms of ending WWII.

I also got chills when the U.S. Airforce fly by featured the missing man formation.

If you pray, then take a minute and pray for the men that fell that day. If you don't pray take a moment and thank these men for their bravery.
