Thanks to all those who served during D-Day. We can never repay them for what they did and sacrificed for us who lived on. I was around, but too young to serve at that time. My hat is off to all of them. Thanks again.
You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him/her.

My dad and his siblings keep telling me that my Grandpa was a part of group of soldiers who saved the Lipizzan Stallions (the one who can do almost human-like dancing) from destruction during the war in Europe.
