Short and sweet...
Many things to think about today...and so to me here's the gist of the matter.
D-Day: God Bless all those who sacrificed so much on this day 60 years ago. I've often wondered what must have been going through the minds of those gallant souls as they approached the beach or prepared to jump into the darkness of the French night, knowing full well the perils that would surely face them. Having made numerous night parachute drops myself, I know firsthand the normal jitters one gets....doing so under the worst of combat conditions, I can only imagine and marvel at the bravery and sense of duty of those men of my Dad's generation.
Ronald Reagan: Simply put he was the right man for his times. More than anything else, he turned the spirit of the country around after the abyssmal decade of gloom following the Vietnam War. His politics were direct, to the point and done, generally without being mean spirited. We need more like him today.
