Today is the anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944. It is a very important day in our history and the turning point for WWII in Europe.
Also, The Battle of Midway was underway on this day two years before on June 4-7, 1942.
We first visited the WWII Memorial in Washington D.C. in 2004. The following quote about The Battle of Midway on the wall of the WWII Memorial grabbed my attention and has gripped me ever since.
They had no right to win, yet they did, and in doing so they changed the course of a war. Even against the greatest of odds, there is something in the human spirit, a magic blend of skill, faith and valor, that can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory.

You can make it through this difficult time, my friend. You can win. You can go from certain defeat to incredible victory.
Thank you for stopping by today.
