D-DAY
Today, June 6, is D-Day – the day American and Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy, France. Untold numbers of them died before even reaching the sands, and others died before reaching their objective. And yet, those who lived to secure that objective enabled us to take a most important step in defeating the Nazi military during World War II.
A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE
I have lived through two established days of remembrance. My first was December 7, 1941. I was but nine months old at that time. The second which is etched in stone in my memory was September 11, 2021. As Americans we do not celebrate these these days; we memorialize them. These are days that we recall events that took it tolls on those who died, on those who witnessed the atrocities, on America, on those in the world who had a love and respect for our great nation.

I find it a bit amazing that many MLBaseball players get paid $15, 20, 30, 40 and even one is getting 70 MILLION DOLLARS a year for as many as ten years (a couple for eleven or twelve years). They may hit for a high average and hit 40, 50 or 60 home runs, AND YET strike out 100 to 200 times a year. Some earn their money because they are also good fielders and excellent team leaders.
