Same thing happens around the world who often forget that Europe exists today because of our grandparents and some parents and their sacrifices along with taking for granted the fact that even still today they save billions if not trillions of dollars because we still protect half the continent for free basically, not anything I see Obama changing too much in fact throwing more of our money that way into the Greece black hole by way.
I wonder why.
Victory in Europe Day (V-E Day or VE Day) was on May 8, 1945, the date when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Nazi Germany and the end of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. On 30 April Hitler committed suicide during the Battle of Berlin, and so the surrender of Germany was authorized by his replacement, President of Germany Karl Dönitz.The administration headed up by Dönitz was known as the Flensburg government. The act of military surrender was signed on 7 May in Reims, France, and ratified on 8 May in Berlin, Germany. (source)
Others spent it remembering the Ally victory over the Nazi's, some interesting history some on the left seem to wanna repeat of that slice of history and that is a frightening thing.
Mostly because the people that won the Big One are gone or leaving ar a rapid pace, and that's no good because we don't have the "gung ho, kick some ass take no prisoners" citizenry to take their place protecting this freedom that isn't free. That is, aside from the folks in our great military now.
In fact the Army just said that a quarter of the kids today couldn't even fight if needed.

That is not too good either now is it if this SHOULD EVER HAPPEN AGAIN hint hint hint.....
May 08 - Leaders in Britian and France celebrate VE Day, when allied forces beat Nazi Germany.
Thanks for posting this, Ray. I didn't hear one thing about this great anniv. 65 YEARS, on
ReplyDeleteany MSM. I watch the chnl 20 euro newscasts, and RT (Russia Today) had loads of great clips.
I feel bad for the the old Veterans who fought so hard, and are alive now to see all their
hard work basically being thrown away, with the state of the world now days.
It's part and parcel of what's happened now to this generation who've been hijacked by PC and liberal looniness. It's gonna take 16 years of Republican or I should say conservative presidents to undo this damage done by this dickless halfrican already. Shit it took Bush 8 years to clean up Clinton's messes which in turn caused 911 and no this shit.....
ReplyDeleteYou know what I'm praying for .... l ;)
I forgot to say thanks and yes there wasn't shit on TV even FOX really. You'd think they'd play some Oliver North War Stories or at least something.
ReplyDeleteIt's more of a Euro PEEON remembrance as the VJ day and Memorial day and Veterans day are ours I suppose but we should acknowledge it because Our Grandparents were the ones who facilitated the Victory ....Go figure...we forget our heritage and this place is DONE with a crapital D.....
Interesting history lesson, thanks Ray. We remember DeGaule. Kids today don't learn about history as it really was.
