The start of a great sacrifice
Notes:
- Today we honor our veterans who sacrificed much in the defense of our freedoms and lives.
- Let’s dedicate this post to the World War II veterans whose numbers are few as many of these vets reach to the end of life.
- They are often referred to as the greatest generation – because of the depth and brutality of the war and the prior hardship of the Great Depression.
- It all started for them on the Day of Infamy December 07, 1941 – the Sunday morning when Japan strikes Pearl Harbor.

Normandy Beach – looks peaceful today …
Notes:
- … but not on that morning in early June, 1944.
- The beach was littered with thousands of soldiers storming the beach to gain a foothold in occupied Nazi Europe.
- The view is from an German bunker where machine guns mowed down solders by the hundreds as they attempted to secure the beach.

The Battle of Bulge
Notes:
- Winter 1944-45 – this road was covered with tanks and foot soldiers as they stopped and pushed back the last German offensive of the war.
- The offensive caught the Allied forces by surprise – trapping and surrounding a full regiment of American soldiers behind enemy lines.
- It was within the confines of these woods that the most intense fighting among tanks and soldiers for the survival of freedom.

The final end
Notes:
- World War II finally comes to the end with the unconditional surrender of Japan.
- It unfortunately took the dropping of the two atomic bombs that brought the Japanese to surrendering terms.
- These two bombs – although controversial – saved thousands of American lives from storming the beachhead of Japan.
- The war has ended – and we honor those men and women who sacrificed much in the name of freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
