 Good job Ken,  as a country we should never forget the sacrifice that so few men and women have made to protect the freedoms that the rest of the USA takes for granted.  It is very interesting how many military service families have been defending our freedom for multiple generations.  In my family my grandfather served in WWI and WWII, my dad served for 20 years as an Air Force pilot to include 3 tours in Vietnam, I served for 22 years as an Air Force pilot to include Desert Storm and numerous other locations.  Now one of my nephews is going to become a CRO (Combat Rescue Officer) in the Air Force and my 10 year old daughter wants to become a special ops pilot like her dad.  

As a disabled veteran it still surprises me how many of my fellow Texans thank me for my service, fly the American Flag and constantly support our troops.  I can't speak for the rest of the nation but here in Texas we have not and will not forget the price of freedom!  

Oh, and just because the 65 Anniversary of D-Day slipped your mind for a few hours doesn't mean you forgot the importance of the day.  Thanks for the very interesting information on D-Day and Vietnam.  For my family and myself there is no difference between a WWII, Korea, Vietnam, military peacetime service, Desert Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan and etc. veteran; they are all heros!  Thanks for your service to our country, cheers.
