I recently visited Omaha Beach and stood on it in absolute silence - other than listening to the peaceful morning waves lapping on a low tide - and thought of the thousand stories that unfolded in a few hours span, on that fateful day.
It’s a physical and emotional challenge to be there, with your feet on the sand that soaked up so much blood, and ponder the depth and breadth of what those young men did, and how they saved humanity.
And it’s especially sobering, knowing what we do today about the existential threat outside influences pose to the very way of life they died to preserve.
@Exner_Garrett , sir, you should have a million followers for no other reason except telling this story today, and honoring Ray.
Thank you.
June 6, 1944 �� the day the world witnessed American resolve. On this 82nd anniversary of D-Day, we remember the bravery that shaped history and preserved liberty.
On this 82nd anniversary of D-Day, Commissioner @LukeFarleyNC and the North Carolina Department of Labor honor the brave Americans who stormed the beaches of Normandy in defense of freedom.
Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering resolve changed the course of history and secured liberty for generations. Today, we remember their service, honor their legacy, and reaffirm that their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
