Thanks for the reminder, Miles. If the US hadn't gone to the aid of Europe back then, we'd be living in a very different world today.

That's right. One we cannot imagine.

Nor would we want too.

My grandfather met the landing party on the beach (paratrooper.)

I fear we may be facing similar battles to come in other parts of the world.

I hope we can draw the lesson of the Greatest Generation in those battles- resolve, fortitude and bravery, which, when combined with skilled leadership, will secure the victory we must have.

Tyranny will never rest. Neither can we.
