    The greatest generation in American history was fighting the German Army on the beaches in France.

    Omaha is memorialized and mythologized, because it was a tough landing. But even had we* been repulsed completely at Omaha, the landings would have been a success because Utah, Sword, and Juno were relatively uncontested. Again, for the umpteenth time, we* didn't do this until it was a foregone conclusion that we* would succeed. Ask race, he was there

    Spoken just like a Boomer who resented his 2 Dad's who always told him He'd never amount to anything.


    The odds were in our favor but it was certainly not the Foregone conclusion that you no doubt seeped into the heads of limp wristed kids when you used to play Professor.

    One of my 2 (grand) dads stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. However, he landed on Utah Beach instead of Omaha, which is can partially be attributed to him surviving the war; still got 2 Purple Hearts later on in France and Germany.

    Thank him for his service.
