To all those servicemen who helped regain our freedom, I take a deep bow. I have visited the battlefields in France, paid my respects at the impressive cemetery overlooking Utah beach and have stood in awe at the courage and determination of all those who participated in this heroic undertaking. It is only when you stand on the bluffs overlooking the landing areas, the selfsame spot manned by the German machinegun emplacements pouring down a hail of fire, that one truly understands the bravery of those that participated. May their memory live on, in gratitude.
