I have visited the battlefields and memorials of the First and Second World Wars many times. I have looked down from the American War Cemetery at Omaha Beach and wondered how any of them survived. Today was Veterans Day. They are the VIPs. Sixty-five years ago the freedom of Europe was in balance. I salute them and thank them for fighting for our freedom and pay tribute to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning we shall remember them."
