Sixty-five years ago today, on the northern shores of an occupied France, a group of everyday men proved what can happen when ordinary people are forced to become extraordinary. Five years ago today, I was able to visit Normandy to see those beaches and meet several of the men who pulled that mission off. I also saw and saluted the tombstones of many of those who didn't see the end of the war. It was one of the most humbling experiences of my life.

I've never liked the whole "Thank a Veteran" campaign or those stupid yellow magnets, so to the brave souls who fought in the most noble campaign in history, I offer the clink of a beer bottle and a blood-curdling rebel yell. HOOAH!
