Guess where our President
was.

The invasion of France on
June 6, 1944 was a triumph of intelligence, coordination, secrecy, and
planning. The bold attack was also a tremendous risk. Ultimately it succeeded
because of individual soldiers' bravery in combat.

An invading army had not
crossed the unpredictable, dangerous English Channel since 1688 -- and once the
massive force set out, there was no turning back. The 5000-vessel armada
stretched as far as the eye could see, transporting over 150,000 men and nearly
30,000 vehicles across the channel to the French beaches. Six parachute
regiments -- over 13,000 men -- were flown from nine British airfields in over
800 planes. More than 300 planes dropped 13,000 bombs over coastal Normandy
immediately in advance of the invasion.

By nightfall on June 6, more
than 9,000 Allied soldiers were dead or wounded, but more than 100,000 had made
it to shore,securing French and coastal villages.

D-Day Monument

In recent years, only 3 times
did a president fail to go to the D-Day Monument that honors the soldiers
killed on D-Day.

Those 3 years missed by a US
President were :

1. Barack Obama 2010

2. Barack Obama 2011

3. Barack Obama 2012

For the past 70 years, all
presidents, except Obama, have paid tribute to the fallen soldiers killed on
D-Day. This year, instead of honoring the soldiers, he made a campaign
trip on Air Force One to California to raise funds for the upcoming election.

You aren't surprised are
you?

You know I'm not surprised Dave. The only justification I can give this is I truly would not want a President to be there who does not honor the fallen, and this President has not shown that he cares about our Military at all, in my opinion.

Ya. This is a lie. First the memorial was only built in 2004 making it hard for presidents to visit for the last 70 years.

Next, D-Day calibrations by any president are very uncommon. Memorial day is still the traditional date to celebrate veterans.

Reagan did go to Normandy to celibate the 40th anniversary of D-Day. Clinton went for the 50th. W went for the 60th.....and, wait for it, Obama went for the 65th.

Check the records.

Dumbass, the tomb of the unknown is what the article is referring to, not the WW2 memorial.

I felt sorry for the Japanese, on the USS Missouri, when they had to surrender"

I had to look this up. I think he said, "I'm always worried about using the word 'victory,' because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur." I did not realize he said such a thing. Amazing. Not only that he said it but that the fool doesn't have his facts straight. It was not the Emperor that signed the document. In fact, he was allowed to remain in his position.

Obama does not like to win. He seems to prefer to apease... like Chamberlain. Churchill depicted Chamberlain as well-meaning but weak.... sounds exactly like Obama and not at all like the America that defeated both the Nazis and the Japanese in WW-2.

I don't remember when or where, but I heard Obama say that during an interview. I guess I missed the part about Hirohito.

That loser has to lose in November.

My father was not part of the D-Day landing, but was with the 2nd Division US Marine Corp that stormed Tarawa beach, which to this day holds the record for the most American casualties in the shortest amount of time. He used to always say that whatever honors he or any other veteran would ever desire is the recognition of the entire effort, and not individual battles. That recognition was simply honoring Veterans Day, and the modest gesture of lying a wreath on the tomb.
Romney almost made me sick yesterday speaking to the VFW when he made it a point to praise those that "answered the call" when that cowardly prick dodged Viet Nam. Being a Nam era vet that enlisted in '71, I consider his behavior to be a slap in the face to every brave soldier from any war.

The only problem I see is trying to get Obama out of office by nominating a candidate to go against him that is worse than John McCain.

McCain was a "war hero" Romney is a "draft dodger"

There is still time to vet that coward by "convention time" and Nominate a VETERAN that will clean Obama's clock.

Unfortunately neither will Paul, primarily be cause the media has pretty much shoved him aside. That doesn't mean we have to resolve ourselves to accepting an Obama win.
