I have always thought the US does a very good job of honouring their military, both vets and current service men and women. Yes D-Day IS 'just' history now, but no different than we come together on November 11th to honour and remember the fallen from World War 1, there is value in observing other notable dates in history, for many reasons. Its about gratitude and respect, and it is just 'the right thing to do'. As the sign over the museum at Dachau, one of the most notorious death camps of Nazi Germany says, 'Those Who Forget History Will be Condemned to Relive it'. Human sacrifice in war is ultimately about preservation of the freedom we enjoy today. It hardly seems an imposition to remember, honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice and say thank you in our own way. 'Lest We Forget'. (D-Day was June 6th, 1944) Chris.
