My mother is near the door of death as I type, she spoke to me at length before dementia took her away about this day. It is something I wish more people would take the time to hear. I've come here and listened to bits of this for years now, and never bothered to post a review. In closing, thanks for the opportunity to hear these profound words of echoing history, a time rapidly slipping away, and to all the brave souls of the Greatest Generation, whom we have lost or will soon lose, as we say here in New Mexico, 'Via con Dios.'Īnother year has passed, and the number of people with living memory of this tragic, heroic grotesquely necessary day shrinks rapidly. How sad there was so little help in that era for that kind of very real injury, one that affected him the rest of his life Blessedly, he came home relatively unscathed, physically, although deeply injured emotionally, including that he did mention that, as a medic, it was his job to help clean up a German bunker that Allied forces destroyed. As he said, 'Those are things I want to forget, not talk about.' Meanwhile, 'Mom' was back home, working, waiting for the life they hoped to live. My father-in-law was with the second-wave to hit Utah Beach and continued on across Europe to the Battle of the Bulge, part of a family legacy that, sadly, he rarely talked about. That appalls me and 'network news' should hang its head in shame as democracies MUST have information, ALL the information, not just celebrity news and divisive news. I find these broadcasts moving and reflective of a standard of REAL journalism that, with media deregulation, has disappeared in our country-perhaps at a ghastly price to the very democracy the brave souls at Normandy fought to save.
