the Second World War, the direction of Europe, and that of the
world; The Allied powers launched a gigantic offensive on the
French coast to attack and drive back the German Army in a
prolonged, grinding, frightful effort to free the heart of the
European continent from tyranny's grasp. Many men made
tremendous sacrifices, each paying a frightening price to free
a handful of nations without counting the cost. All gave some,
some gave all. All made an indelible mark on the world, on
humanity, and on history that fateful day. And today ---
this June 6 --- is the 75th anniversary of that very day.
this June 6 --- is the 75th anniversary of that very day.
Your grateful Peasant cannot add anything to the story of that
day, nor can I restate anything in order to paint a broader,
more vivid picture. But I can and shall state here on this
humble blog, and have in fact done as much here recently,
that freedom isn't free, freedom costs. However, freedom isn't
a luxury but a necessity. This is the lesson to be learned from
this monumental battle which turned the war, shaped three
continents, and wrote a new and better history for the human
race.
