June 6th
66 years ago today, many young men gave their lives for the illusion we call freedom.
I salute their heroism.
Many other young men gave their lives in defense of state control.
I weep for them.

Re: June 6th
Wikipedia says nothing happened on June 6, 1943. So nothing happened.

Re: June 6th
We should commemorate this day by killing (or seriously injuring) any french people we know. <insert hostile rant here based on recent activities>.

Re: June 6th
I salute all the men/women, even the ones that weren't brave. Especially the ones that weren't brave!
Only one person in my family fought in WW2 - WW1 is more my cup of tea

Re: June 6th
One side of my family fought against Japan, some died in Japanese camps.
The other side got rich during the war, which is just as honorable I suppose.

Re: June 6th
It'll not be too long until all those that fought for our freedoms are dead. Makes you humble in your own mortality.

Re: June 6th
Lots of other things makee me feel far more humble in my own mortality. Some examples: Anything space related (that isn't a text based online game), and 47millions year old fossils.
I have to admit, people 2 generations older than me dying, doesn't
