OMB Celebrates D Day

Oldest Military Blogger Celebrates D Day.

“What Soldiers Do”, a shoddy book was released giving references of criminality by 

soldiers stationed in France during WWII.

Unfortunately, or was it intentionally, the week of the release corresponds

with the Memorial Day period of 2013..

A despicable time to release this trashy title to humiliate Service Persons.

Soldiers know what they do better than anybody..

More than 2 million American Servicemen in Europe, away

from their family and loved ones, mostly in England, later in France,

but earlier in Africa, and Italy, some for more than two years

Very busy keeping it together for Duty in WWII.

War is not a palatable commodity.

The opposing combatants,maybe, are sometimes,

all Morally Right, in their own way.

The winners and losers kill their enemy and themselves.

What’s moral about that.

War is bad.

Some Soldiers are bad .

They do bad things.

These Soldiers have lost their Morals.

The civilians complain to the Authorities

The Soldiers are punished.

More than 60, almost 70 years later, a Historian published

a book condemning all soldiers for what

they did in France because of a letter written in 1945,

by the Mayor of Le Havre, after the liberation of his Country.

How soon we forget.

We must remember the tens of thousands of lives

lost in the war in France, fighting for that Liberty.

That’s what that weekend is really about.

A Department of Veterans Affairs reports, at the end of World War II, there were 16 million veterans. Today, there are about 1 million. 
By 2036, it is estimated there will be no living veterans of World War II.

Thank you for your Service in any branch of the Military.

Thank you for your Service in any War, here or abroad...

Only soldiers know best, what soldiers do.

As to the 70th Anniversary of D Day on Normandy, I personally

have some business I  have to take care of then ,so I’ll stick around.
