I will be stopping by my Grandpa's grave on my way to work today. In his youth, he helped beat back the Nazi regime.
As a teenager, I went to visit my Uncle while he was stationed in Germany. While there, my father took us to Dachau for a history lesson. To this day, the hairs on the back of my neck slowly creep up when I think about standing in the "showers" and trying to comprehend the scope of the evil perpetuated there.
I thank God for the bravery of Americans and their allies for putting a stop to the Third Reich.
I also thank God that we still have brave Americans willing to sacrifice all to fight the enemies of America and humankind.
Thank you all.
