D-Day @ Normandy and Related Photos
 

I thought these photos may also be of interest to some forum members of the time period surrounding D-Day at Normandy. As I look at the faces of some of these soldiers I wonder what thoughts they harbored.

Fantastic!!! TKS

Notice how the unit identification patches were scratched out for security reasons during the war?

Magnificent!

Thanks again, I'd never seen photo so interesting on D DAY.

At the very bottom of this set of D-day photos is a link to an excellent set of photos surveying the war in Vietnam, from about 1963 to the fall of Saigon in 1975.

When ever I see photos of the Viet Nam conflict I am reminded of the extremely disgraceful way many American citizens, particularly College age kids treated the returning Warriors who fought one of the most difficult wars of all time. The constant heat and humidity alone would be enough to make the average american want to call it quires, but jungle warfare and all that it entails, not being certain who the enemy is, the booby traps that were ever present all that and then to come home to disrespectful and unappreciative fellow countrymen must have been very demoralizing. I have the greatest respect for all those that have experienced combat but particularly the Viet Nam Vets, may God bless them all.

Lon, the sad part is many in goverment positions today are the same people.

That they are John, and I have no doubt many of them brought their ideology with them, advancing their careers seems to supersede any thoughts of doing what is morally right for the sake of this country. :(
