A Day in history went by and we hardly noticed

Posted by MillRatUSMC aka Ricardo on 6/8/2002, 0:42:43

6 June 2002 went by an we hardly noticed but on that day 44 years ago.
Many gave their ALL so we might have our tomorrows.
We now remember that day from a movie "Saving PVT Ryan" but many went to their graves remembering that day, everyday of what was left of their young lifes.
They had their closure on a day that many, I included let pass without noticing.
Many are dying everyday, their ranks are getting thinner.
We should render them the honors dued them while they still have a breath of life.
Semper Fidelis
