Moreover — and perhaps most importantly from a historical perspective – Stalin had no role in D-Day; the invasion of Normandy by U.S., British, Canadian, Australian, Free French, and other Western forces.

Defenders of the Stalin bust argue that, whether we like it or not, our uneasy alliance with the Soviet Union during the war is a part of history and should be recognized. Furthermore, they say that his visage is in no way glorifying the man or his deeds. This argument misses the point entirely. Memorials are monuments to fallen heroes, not historical dioramas. There is no statue of Stephen Douglas at the Lincoln Memorial, no bust of Wendell Willkie at the FDR Memorial, and no plaques honor...

As today D-Day marked 65 years of remembrance I watched a news special about the service held close to the D-Day beaches in France. The speech President Obama held was very impressive and personal.It was good to see Prince Charles was there as well.Thank you America and Great Briton for fighting for our freedom. So many of your people have paid for our freedom with their lives! Did not do that much today, my autism blogging inspiration might come back later after some serious cleaning has been done in both my gardens and my home. Cleaning gives room for new idea's they say.Have a good weekend. Been to the library, 4 books to read! Can't wait to start!

Although I don't have the latest count, I believe we number somewhere between 300 and 1,000. She called it D-blog Day, and I wanted to acknowledge the occasion with this posting. Happy D-blog Day!
