Thanks to all of you who were there, from all of us, for liberating Europe from under the boot of oppression and protecting not only our great nation but our Allies as well.

    Fewer left to thank, but more around to do the thanking.

    By this time that day, the outcome was still far from certain.

    FDR, Marshall, and Ike pissed away the chance to prevent 50 years of Communist terror in Europe. Patton was right. My heart goes out to the families of the fallen that day, and to any survivors.
