June 6, 1944.....D-Day.

Jesus...now soldiers complain when we don’t have WIFI at the FOB. True story...

Before I left Fort Bragg, we had our CG publish a letter about how terrible future wars will be. He literally described D-Day, and for us to all get our minds right for the true horrors of war.

Just absolutely mind blowing how tough these dudes were. Vast majority of them probably never left their home town, and the first time stepping on foreign soil was to kill someone.

Beautiful people coming from farms and cities throughout this great country. Let’s all work hard to defeat this latest socialist / Marxist push by people that don’t deserve to breath the air in this county in my view. Thank you for sharing.

6/6/44 may very well be last day of glory in this country. We made a big mistake by not pushing the Soviets back to Hell after reaching Germany. The Bolshevik Marxist devils have won by beating us at the long game.

The greatest bunch of fighting men ever assembled.

That’s what I was thinking as I was going thru the posts. What a great generation, selfless guys that jump into the Death Valley to rescue nations... I don’t see these kinda men nowadays. I understand that battles today took another whole level of engagement, BUT still, these guys were just badasses ....

And thank you Stampede for such a great post.
