As you sit here tonight...
Sixty nine years ago June 6th 1944...thousands of Paratroopers from the U.S., Britain, Poland, Canada, and other allied nations are dropping across all of Normandy, France disrupting German units, sabotaging equipment, and tieing down other German forces.
By the time you wake up tomorrow 100,000's of men from those same countries would have participated in one of the largest fleets ever seen in mankind's history, landing forces would already be storming the beaches at Juno, Sword, Gold, Omaha and Utah beaches. Omaha being especially bloody, and maybe by the time you wake up tomorrow...still hanging on by a thread.
By the time you wake up the next day 10,000 Allied soldiers would be wounded or killed, and about 9,000 Germans, fighting would still be continuing on at the beach exits and some penetrations would have been made in the Germans lines.
Tomorrow I will hopefully be making a huge post, for those interested.
Thank you for reading and take a minute to think on what I have wrote.

Because instead of being home, I have to live this life for the next few years. And it hurts even more to know that majority of the public sees me as insane and crazy, rather than the hero that they told me I would be. I probably won't be able to get a job. What am I going to put as my job experience? Nobody's going to hire me. We don't even get paid good as it is. I've been promoted twice since I've been in, and my pay has been cut twice instead. What's there to be proud of about this? Yes, I'm probably going to spend this night crying, like I do sometimes. I miss my family.
