Visited with David Eisenhower last year- you describe the spiritualness well. Sobering to visit the batteries of Pont du Hoc. Surviving that day must have been scaring- a miracle. Like you, i feel a deep connection to those that gave so much for succeeding generations to thrive. Even the German Chancellor is grateful for throwing off the yoke of Nazi dictatorship. May MAGA take note.
Reed…Beautiful written and something to read over and over. The character of our leaders in the past, like Eisenhower , at that moment in history was stellar…and it saddens me to see our country being run today by the dregs of society…with no allegiance to our country and it’s citizens but only to themselves and what power and financial gain they can get out of it. How very sad for all Americans that we have lost our way…
Ike's words to this day touch my heart every time someone reads them or quotes them. Must admit a few tears filled my eyes. Not tears of sadness but heart felt tears of love for Ike and the brave men that stormed the beaches at Normandy. These 81 years later may God bless them all and give them peace. Thank you, Reed for posting this again. Take care.
