Today is a day to remember the sacrifices of those on the beach, and all of those who served in the Great Wars and in the military in general. It’s easy day-to-day to get caught up in life and daily frustrations. I’ve caught myself a couple of times today getting frustrated over little things, like the internet being frozen. What a ridiculous thing to be upset about, especially when you think about what those young men went through on this day 75 years ago. What all of the men and women in the war effort went through. What their poor families back home went through. So next time I’m annoyed over something trivial, I’m going to try to remember those who sacrificed so much so we can live the lives we do.
This is a very cool video. Tom Rice nearly lost his life parachuting into hostile territory on D-Day. The 97-year-old American celebrated the anniversary of D-Day by parachuting into Normandy again. What an amazing guy! Check it out below.
On D-Day, Tom Rice parachuted into a hail of gunfire. For the 75th anniversary, the now 97-year-old jumped into Normandy again, and loved it. #DDay75 @johnleicester reports. https://t.co/TVikdgcKfh pic.twitter.com/JSrm24iawm
