Just a quick reminder that today is June 6, 2026, but 82 years ago, the U.S., and our allies, started the end of the Third Reich by storming the beaches of Normandy.
Some of the beaches were met with practically little or no resistance, but others were a literal slaughterhouse when the ramps of the troop transports were dropped into the sea and the German machine gunners opened up, along with round after round of devastating artillery.
Many of those troops never made it out of the churning waters and died where they fell; some just drowned weighted down with guns, ammo and other gear.
This also happened to the paratroopers who jumped out of the sky or attempted to land via gliders, with many of those brave men drowning as did their brothers hitting those blood-stained beaches.
I think with Memorial Day just passed, it would be a good thing to remember those Veterans of the D-Day, Normandy invasion, and say a quick prayer for their souls...
Freedom, as they say, is not free!
Pray for strength and honor!
Viva Cristo Rey! Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun, and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle...
St. Joseph, pray for us!!
