Subject: RE: Thought of the Day - June 6, 2000
Of all the film footage of WWII that I have seen repeatedly, there is that one sequence of a few men running toward the cliffs from the boats. One man goes down. We've all seen that haven't we? That scene is indelibly etched in my memory above many others. It plays almost every time D-Day is mentioned, and I wonder who he was......Did he live or did he die? Did his family know it was their son,brother,father,husband? I don't know why that one scene and that one man gets so deeply into my soul.
