[DeTomaso] D-Day

[Mike Thomas]

>From the other side of the planet, my uncle turned 91 back in January, flew
41 bombing missions in B24 Libbys in the South Pacific during WW Deuce.
Retired from the Air Force in '72 as a Lt Col., flew until he was 85 - 67
years.  Walking through his house is like being in a mini-Air Force museum
with all of the photos.  He confided in me when I went to Tucson for his
90th last year that he was the captain of the back-up team for the Enola Gay
on Hiroshima.  Talk about someone you RESPECT!!

My neighbor was in the surf on a beach in Normandy this day many years ago.

He was out in his driveway when I left for work this morning and I thanked
him for that day and talked a bit.

He said it didn't seem like too many people even know what D-Day
was...is....but was proud to be there.

I told him people remember.

 

I haven't heard or read a word about it in the media so far today. There's
plenty about the new celebrity

hairstyles and mugshots and which one didn't finish highschool, NBA scores,
Whitehouse snooping.

 

Take a second and think about what it must have been like to look across
that beach or up those cliffs.

I get a chill up my back.
