You may have noticed on Saturday that there were a lot of flags being flown. You may have even known why they were out. In case you didn't, Saturday was the 65th anniversary of D-Day -- the day that Allied forces landed on the European main land to re-take the continent from Germany. Today I saw an interview with Arthur Seltzer, who was one of the thousands of brave men who landed at Normandy. Arthur's story is compelling beyond words. No words I could write-here would do it justice. Please watch the Interview with Mr. Seltzer here.
When you're done watching, have your kids watch it. Have your parents watch it. Have all your friends watch it. Show it to complete strangers.
We - as a nation - fail, too often, to appreciate the profundity of the sacrifices made for our Freedom. And while I'm seldom the gushing patriotic type I'm damn proud to be an American. For all our cultural foibles and political faults, this is still the greatest nation on the planet. God Bless America!
