The Continuous Changes of Conlin McClaflin

A few days ago, May 6th, 79 years to the day, the Allies landed on the beach at Normandy. This was a highly secret, vitally important attack on occupied France during the Second World War. I write to thank and remember.  To remember those who died as they surged onto that beach knowing that they probably would not return home, that their families would never see them again. But they knew also that it was the right and honorable thing to do. They did it to preserve our freedoms. And against all odds, despite much death, this was eventually accomplished, by the end of 1945. I want to thank all of you who died that day for going ashore onto that beach despite great fear, despite imminent death, despite the loss of life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for serving our great country.  That thank you comes from a Patriot that hopes to one day be as great as you yourselves who ran onto that beach. Thank you for your service, Veterans of World War II.

 Memorial Day Memorial day began as a day of remembrance for those who fought in the Civil War. It was originally known as Decoration day, and became a national holiday in 1971. This post is a little late, I know, but I want to take this time now to say thank you for all those soldiers who gave their lives defending freedoms on US soil, from the American Revolution, to the Civil War, to every war from World War I to The War on Terror. This is a heart-felt thank you, to all of you brave souls who fought for what was, and still is, right.  Rest in Peace.  You will not be Forgotten.  Long live the USA.
