D-Day 80 years ago

France, Sainte-Mère-Église – July 2013

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.
