Three on Thursday - D-Day
I've mentioned before that D-Day has always been a solemn day of remembrance for our family. My dad landed on Normandy's Omaha Beach on June 7, 1944. While he was a day late for making history, he still saw his share of action and carried a bit of German shrapnel in his leg to prove it. So, for today's Three on Thursday, I thought I'd share a few links that you might find interesting.
