As you go about your business today, please take a moment to remember those who died for the freedom of others. The Great Crusade is worth remembering, even 60 years later.

60 years ago today, one of my grandfathers touched earth with the 101st.

He and those who were with him are in my thoughts.

One of my mother's uncles was in the 101st and died in France during the invasion...
