Oh absolutley, I simply can't imagine what must have been goin through the heads of the troops as they were approaching the landing sites. Staring down almost certain death, yet having the courage to set foot on the beach. It's truling inspiring.
When you think about it that way, how can we possibly ever be grateful enough? They truly did save the world. It's amazing stuff.
