66 Years Ago Today,
« on: June 06, 2010, 06:17:04 PM »
History Channel collaboration, about what happened 66 years ago today, and the men who fulfilled one of the toughest duties ever. And the precursor from Eisenhower, and yes GOD was referenced, they were the "Greatest Generation."

THEY are the soldiers, they are the Fathers, Sons, Brothers, and Husbands that did the "unbelievable" and played a decisive role in ending WWII.

An old man flew from the US to Paris recently, and was asked for a passport at the airport. He kindly replied "I didn't need one last time I was here."

The French Customs Official replied "Everyone must have a passport to enter France."

To which the "Old man" replied:

There were NONE checking passports on Omaha Beach in June of 1944..

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
