D-Day is underway. Some would argue that what's happening right now is the most daring and ultimately successful operation in the history of military Alliances.
Note: the majority of troops are friends of the US from eight countries. Eisenhower has been told that three-quarters of the 23,400 airborne troops will be lost. He's hoping that the prediction will be wrong.
"Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking."
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, closing his Order of the Day to the troops --
Evening of June 5, 1944.
Share this tonight -- so people can remember that so much of what they enjoy today is in large part because of what happened 82 years ago tomorrow.
They refused to bathe. They refused to salute. They poached deer from an English lord's estate and used their washing water ration to cook it.
The night before D-Day they shaved mohawks and painted their faces like warriors.
Then they jumped into Normandy on one of the deadliest missions of the invasion.

Mat Best - Folded Flag (Official Music Video)
This song was written for the men and women who stepped into the fire for this country and never made it home, and for the families, friends, and brothers left carrying their memory forward.
Memorial Day isn't just a long weekend. Behind every folded flag is a name, a story, and a sacrifice that built the freedom we live in every day.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
May we always live worthy of their sacrifice, honor their memory, and never forget the brave Americans who paid the ultimate price.
This Memorial Day, we remember not only the men and women whose names are etched into stone, but also the quiet professionals whose sacrifices may never be publicly known. In recent weeks, another star was added to the wall at Central Intelligence Agency headquarters, a solemn reminder that some gave everything in silence, far from recognition, applause, or headlines.
Having worked alongside many of these individuals, I have seen firsthand the weight they carry and the sacrifices they make, not for recognition, but because they believed deeply in protecting this country and the people in it. Some spent years away from their families. Some operated in places where even a small mistake meant they would never come home. Some gave their lives, and much of what they did may remain classified forever.
Many Americans will never know their names. They will never hear the stories of the officers, targeters, analysts, and sources who stood in the shadows to stop attacks, track terrorists, warn of threats, and protect our homeland from enemies most people will never see. Yet their work mattered every single day.
Today, we honor all of the fallen, including those whose families carry their grief quietly, often unable to fully speak about the service and sacrifice of the person they lost. The stars on that wall are not just symbols. Each one marks a life dedicated to protecting this nation in silence. Behind every star is a story of sacrifice, courage, and a family that carries that loss forever.
We remember them. We honor them. And we owe them far more than most will ever know.
Memorial Day isn’t about barbecues or beach days—it’s about those American heroes who gave everything for our freedom.

Memorial Day and Veterans Day hold two very different meanings. 🇺🇸

This is Edward. He was given 6 months to live after being found as a stray. His family was determined to give him the best few months possible, so they introduced him to the ice cream truck. That was 27 months ago. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday
