D-Day 80 years ago
Today we remember that 80 years ago thousands were willing to pay the highest price to give us our freedom. John Steele landed on the pinnacle of this church in the early morning of June 6 1944 in Sainte-Mère-Église.
To the brave and courageous
Who were willing to pay the ultimate price
And gave me my freedom
As a precious treasure
Never to be taken as a right
But like they did then to be defended
Again and again
Lest not forget

It is the eeriest feeling to see that parachute on the church and then learn the story behind it. Yes. honor and respect for the fallen and all who have served. Thanks for remembering Chris.
