Final Approach
My Grandfather was walking around for one of the last times without bits of shrapnel in his legs. He was also a corporal, and in the events that will transpire tomorrow he will eventually get a battlefield commission after his entire company except for him and 2 other men is wiped out on Omaha beach. He will also be awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart for his actions on D-Day.
Lets not forget the sacrifice that he made, and the ultimate sacrifice that others made, so we have the freedom to post on silly little things like Internet message boards for pilots. 69 years ago tomorrow is one of the most important days in the previous millennium, if not THE most important. Men will give their lives for what they know is good and righteous against the most evil power the world has ever known. Just so you and I can be free - I hope that is as humbling to other people as it is to me. Today my friends, I am especially proud to be an American.
