80 years and 2 days later

 On 6 June 1944, D-Day, Allied troops landed on the coast of Normandy. It was the start of the campaign to liberate Europe and defeat Germany. (History.com)

Many argue the “D” in D-Day stands for “departed,” “disembarkation,” “decision” and “death,” according to the museum. However, another explanation is that the “D” stands for “day,” according to the U.S. Department of Defense, specifically “the day on which a combat attack or operation is to be launched.” (The Hill)

 

Today is June 8, 2024, exactly, 80 years and 2 days since, the Allies landed in Normandy, because the cost of doing nothing would have greater consequences than the cost of defending Democracy! For many it was our great grandparents, our grandparents and parents, who said Democracy is the only form of government to heed our call for equality, freedoms, choices, and chance. 

 

Here we are 80 years and 2 days later and WE THE PEOPLE, watch the headlines:

'Georgia Is Our Laboratory': Inside Trump's Plan to Rig 2024 Team Trump sees Georgia as ‘a road map’ for putting Trump’s heads-I-win-tails-you-lose philosophy of elections into practice. (Rolling Stone) ‘They have no options’: Texas court dims hope of timely abortion care for high-risk patients.

It is as if the death the honor, the purpose of D-Day means and meant nothing. As WE THE PEOPLE face this November, of 2024 some 80 years and 5 months later, WE THE PEOPLE, can absolutely forget the efforts made to keep Democracy alive, or WE THE PEOPLE, can once again defeat the TYRANNY, TREASON and TREACHORY of the FASCIST. WE THE PEOPLE , are still able to choose, because of the sacrifices made 80 years and 2 day ago!
