I had a different opening written that somehow got deleted.
Doesn't matter.
Simply put, I'm tapped out and wish to pause from literally everything tonight.
I mean no disrespect with that statement.
Instead I'm here to simply honor those who fought in Operation Overloard, more commonly known as D-Day.
There were over 10,000 Allied casualties and 4,414 deaths.
I apologize if it's somehow insensitive or incorrect to thank them for their sacrifice but those are the words I'm choosing.
I also wish to acknowledge those journalists who were present -- whether with the troops or helping the deliver the news back at home. I greatly admire all of them, including my electronic brethren.
Thank you, all.
