Today we commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944. Thousands of brave men and women died for our way of life. Several years ago, we visited Normandy and experienced the rough terrain, the embedded battlements the Germans had built, the beaches, the mulberries... The ground is still scared and the remnants of the terrible machines of war are evident. That sacred ground is quiet and subdued now. The nearby cemeteries, with row after row of white crosses and 6-pointed stars tell the sad story of young men who sacrificed their lives. Please take a minute to remember those heroes.
Will we ever learn that war is hell? Will we ever learn to live with each other? When will we learn?
