D+23.376

There are darn few of them left, WWII veterans are leaving us at the rate of about a thousand a day.  How many Normandy survivors are still around?  Can't say, but for those who were there and are still here...my deepest, sincerest, heartfelt thanks for what you did.  There is no way to calculate the debt this country owes you, but I, for one, will always remember and be grateful.

I know of one. He was with the 101st airborne on that longest day and as of today he resides in a retirement home for veterans near Fort Sill, Oklahoma. I hope he has a wonderful day today on this June the sixth.
