Hell In A Basket » WWII http://www.hellin-abasket.com Rants, Raves, Pieces of My Mind Sat, 24 Dec 2011 01:28:10 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 D-Day http://www.hellin-abasket.com/d-day-2/ http://www.hellin-abasket.com/d-day-2/#comments Tue, 07 Jun 2011 00:10:01 +0000 OH Hell http://www.hellin-abasket.com/?p=1216

Juno, Sword, Gold, Omaha, and Utah. Code names for Hell.

150,000 soldiers  landed on these beaches. Many never made it onto the beach, many never made it off of the beach.

What thoughts must have been going through their minds in those last few minutes, before they landed?

It is hard to imagine  the sights, sounds and smells of that massive movement  of men and machines, now, to most Americans who have only read about WWII in a book, or seen a movie about it.

Our Greatest Generation – they saved our world. And yet, if you ask them about what they did, most of them will say they didn’t do much. Just their job. Just like the soldiers of today.

Thank You.

D-Day
