The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Dad went in the second wave at Omaha Red beach. He and two men lived from that boat. Asked him if he wanted to go to Normandy on the 50th. He replied with profanity making it clear that once was enough. God bless him and the men that sacrificed so much.
